Anyone ever set up any kind of fresh water flush on an alpha gen 2?
I have just repowered my 4.3's and would like to be able to flush some fresh water through them when I am done for the day...
Not sure if this is possible with her slipped all summer...
I am sure if it can be done, someone here has done it.....
Thanks..

Couple of questions regarding the diagram...
What cooling line is used? So I would need to plumb in 2 thru hull connections?
I understand the valve usage, just not sure which line??

B is a above the water line thru hull to release the water from the drive
A is connected to a garden hose adapter to reach the dock hose
The hose the T`s are installed in is the hose from the transom to the thermostat housing (raw water feed)

here is a diagram of the cooling system... my 1st choice on where to put it would be the red arrow... 2nd choice and most realistic place would be the blue arrow.
