I have a pair of 300 engines 2016 and am tired of climbing over the transom to flush the engines. Is there a way of making an attachment so that I ca flush the engines from inside the boat? If so would it void the warranty?

The boat is a 31 foot walk around that is left in the water during the season. The flush attachment is on the right side of the engines. I attach the hose with the engine down, tilt up the engine and turn on the water and then do the same to the other engine. I would like to have a way of doing this from inside the boat with a quick disconnect and again not void the warranty

I'd extend (using a plastic inner connector) and more hose same ID as the Yamaha hose. Then run each hose (each engine) flush hose to a conveniant place inboard
Then for operational use, get a garden hose male end(closed-as if attached to the engine normally)
Then to flush, simply remove the closed male end, hook up your hose and flush away.
Certain quick disconnects close off the water supply unless plugged into the other half...Even better.Last edited by TownsendsFJR1300; 10-28-2016, 09:24 PM.Scott

I recall reading in our manual, freshwater flushing with that connection for 10 minutes with motor off is adequate. I can't imagine you couldn't get enough water for that purpose from your freshwater hose.Last edited by throrope; 10-29-2016, 10:09 PM.

Looks like you have plenty of suggestions/advice. I would do each separately to ensure more volume than pressure.
Even better, just have Jessica do the flushing! See link...
