When I would do it at the marina I would run both at same time, but my water at the house didn't have enough flow for both IMO, so at home I'd only run one at a time. I flushed for a few minutes on just water then shut turn off the water, squirt soap in the hose and turn it back on (make this even easier with quick disconnects). I let it run until the bubbles were almost gone, probably 3-4 minutes I'm guessing, I never actually timed it.@Wayloncle that's what my new method will be, double hosing will save me ten minutes - only have to flush two engines at same time, not one at a time. And finish, or course, with 2 minutes of salt away with the salt away contraption. I figured squirting down the hose may just cause it all to soap up the interior of the hose. No? It actually will go in? And why not flush both at same time? Weaker water pressure coming through 2 hoses rather than one?
