Overheating during clean out

Hose pressure is minimal at best. Go run the boat on the lake, and watch the pee holes, make sure you have a good stream from both the thermostat and the exhaust loop.

This is another reason we tell guys not to try to flush both engines at the same time...water volume on a hose is minimal, even if you have pretty good pressure. Glad it is ok!

So now you've got to find out why your GPM's are low at your house!

Yes..water pressure! My water pressure at home is pretty darn good. I made a y adapter for the flush and tried both engines at once on my old sx210. It overheated and I have never tried it since.

Water pressure is a big deal. I asked the dealer if I could tee off the hose and run both engines simultaneously and he said absolutely not, there's not enough water pressure to do that. I also had a friend's boyfriend help me one day: I started the engine and told him to turn the water on "All the way." The engine kept stalling. Turns out he only had the water partially on, he didn't;t know what "All the way" means!!!
