Need help ASAP please

I just realized that the freshwater flush kit on the Nautiques is located different than any boat I have been on. My dealer orders all boats like this but it has a valve....I am not sure which ay the valve needs to be to run it normal and not on the flush kit. I am attaching a photo and I believe this is correct to run it in the lake....I just want to be sure. Sorry for the stupid question.

Please note there is an on/off on this and it is in the off position. I am assuming this means for the flush kit but I just want to be sure.

99% sure it stays in the off position unless you are flushing, then of course you 'd need to have it open.

Chessie had one on my Malibu, but the seacock valve was on the transom.


Don't forget that section between the hose fitting and the valve when it comes time to winterize. If it's ever been on a hose, then it's filled with water and can freeze crack the valve. kind of a rare item on a wakeboat and most folks don't think about that for winterization.

Thanks Ryan! I just figured it out with pulling the engine cover. It looks like there is an inlet to the engine there with the cover on. I will be at Anna tomorrow if you guys want to hook up.

We were out at the boat races today, kinda rowdy.... Then some surfing and icecream over by Tim's. Then some more surfing... Tore thru 2 tanks of gas in 3 days! Likely chillax at the sandbar tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah we are just putting some break in hours in the boat tomorrow...probably going to pull in for some lunch and maybe over to the sandbar.
