Hose connector

[n1111z]

Does anyone know where I can buy an attachment for the garden hose with an on-off valve to use when flushing the motors. I lost mine on my boat upgrade. Naturally the one that came with the new boat is worth about $.50.

I use these for my flush attachment leader.

You should be able to get the valve at any local hardware store (or walmart)

I have this valve and it has lasted years. No issues.

I used the applicator that came with my salt away. Same type is used on other things too at a cheaper cost. Worked great for turning the water on and off to flush when I needed to.

Is there generally enough water pressure to attach a two way valve to run both engines at the same time?

No. Not a good idea. You want as much water going thru there as possible.

Yeah I figured unless you were tapping into a fire hydrant that it likely wouldn't provide enough water.

Great, thanks for the input

This is the setup I use. Just bought 2 end cap connectors, but the key is the 8' hose and shutoff valve from the big box stores. It enables me to sit at the helm and turn the water on and off without moving.

Also not a good idea because if one goes into overheat or quits you probably won't notice it. I flush one at a time in "no wake" mode. That way if it were to go into overheat it would automatically drop down to low idle and I would hear it immediately.
