newby question on flushing engine

[vic]

Just bought a 2009 challenger and it did not come with the flush hose. Is there a standard seadoo flush hose that fits and where in the engine do you connect and where do you buy one. ? thanks. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.:cheers:

You can get the kit from any dealer, but you can also purchase the adapter from lowes or home depot for a tenth of the cost

I have a 2012, not sure if the same set up. Adaptor screws on top left area. I always leave it on, then just have to snap the hose on each time I flush it. I agree about the price buying from a dealer but It was thrown in free with my purchase of the boat.

I've asked this question also with no real answers. I only have one hole open in which to put the adapter connection (picture). Its on the top right side back near the transom. It's almost impossible to reach and is pipe thread, not hose thread. The hose connecter(which came with the boat) is also not the same as Lowes/Home Depot fittings....it will not fit quick disconnect. What Up?

You should see hose connector on the left hand side...I bought the quick connector from Lowes and it fits fine.

Here is a picture of the left side and I don't see an open hole......Is it that you take the allen head plug out????


Also here is Sea Doo kits and Lowes garden adapters .....you can see that sea doos connection is different/ smaller and will not fit the hose quick disconnect.



And getting back to the original question on which engine compartment hose to tie into ..... once I find the one on the outside I'm tracing it back into the compartment, then cutting (when I'm positive of the right hose; It looks to be on the left side lower...????)
Thanks

The back of my 2012 Seadoo Speedster 150 looks very similar to yours. On the right side there is a threaded hole that you can reach in and either A) Take a hose and screw it into that hole or the preferred way B) Take that quick connect that you got from Sea Doo and screw it into that hole. That is what I did and it works perfectly.

Thanks.....I needed someone to reverify what I was doing. I've been using the hole on the top right but it is a tight fit for my hands.

I went back out and tried the 2 adapters again. The SeaDoo adapter fits in the hole very tight and is to small for the water quick connect. The other adapter I purchased from Lowes goes in very easy but screws a bit to far........ it fits the quick disconnect though.
I can deal with this .............the SeaDoo fitting goes in the trash. It's been my problem all along!
I also know which hose to cut, by tracing back, if I ever decide to add the flush kit.
Thanks

That green hose from seadoo goes on that quick connect that you bought. You don't need the one you purchased from Lowe's. Once you have the Seadoo quick connect installed. Leave it in. Use the green hose to attach when you want to flush. It really is pretty easy that way. You can move the bucket so it is easier to attach the hose.

That is exactly how I do it.

Thanks..............will do. I thought the kits were separate.

Let me know if that works for you.
