New idea for flush

[johnathanrn]

Was thinking...yamaha you can flush the engines from inside the boat. Nice and simple. Any way to do this with sea doo 230 challenger?

Flush the engine from inside??? Do you mean, clear the grate?

 

[johnathanrn]

Sorry meant flush the exhaust.

I think he is talking about having a hose connection inside the hull that is on the water line to the exhaust. Kinda like seadoo had on their older jet ski's. I know the 95 xp was set up this way.

I think I understand now...


For a long time... seadoo had a second flush port on the inside edge of the deck lid. Somewhere around 2007 (depending on the model) I guess they decided to save the $$$. The rear port has been on the pump flange since 98. (or there about)


Also... since the Rotax seadoo boats aren't rated to be left in the water... it's a moot point. Once it's on the trailer... just hook a hose to the pump port.

If you want an inside port... it's really not that big of a deal. Buy a Perko fitting, a plastic "T"... and a few feet of rubber hose, and add it. BUT... DO NOT plug off the rear port. That's an exit for normal water flow.

Yes exactly what I mean. Good idea with the hoses...but guess there has to be an ugly hose snaking into the boat...no way to get around that huh?
