Flush Pro or Bucket???

[paleotm]

I have a flush pro that I was thinking of installing on my sv211 so I can run my motor in the driveway, but I heard it may be better just to T-in my intake line and run H2O from a 5 gallon bucket. I suppose a garden hose t may work, I dunno. Any Advice?
Thanks

Although either one will work, if all you are trying to do is run/flush in the driveway the Flush Pro is a good solution, just connect the hose and you are ready to run, should be faster/easier then using the bucket method.

I went the flushpro way and then tore it all out and went back to a hose. Home Depot can get you all the parts needed to flush (Including valves) for about $20. You just need to be halfway handy with plumbing.

That said the FP is a neat solution, just not my style to depend on not losing a 10-cent piece of plastic that is required to open the check valve on the FP...

Thanks and that's kind of what I hear. Also not so sure about correct water pressure through the hose and I've got serious pressure at the house. Any chance you tell me what is needed or send of pic of you're rig?

what trouble are yall having with the pro????

[tadelfio]

I had one spontaneously break in half while underway. Enough for me to never use or recommend one ever again.

[johnboyy7]

wow. it just broke in half while you were out im assuming. was it in any kind of bind. how long had you had it.

Flush Pro is made out of clear plastic like the bowl on the water strainer, that will crack and leak. I've used both, Flush pro is easier, but I'm liking the bucket because I have about 6 feet of hose so I can set it on the ground and I don't have to get in the boat to use it. On the old boat with the Flush Pro was handy because I could start it up while we were getting ready and the boat was warmed up when it got to the lake so the wife had no problems getting it off the trailer. Now that the boat hangs in a lift so I just have to be patient while it warms up.

It was only about 3 months old. It was placed with plenty of clearence. I had no problems installing it, I didn't have to force anything on. Clamps where hand tightened with a screw driver till snug. No reason's what-so-ever to break: but did. I will NEVER use one again because of this experience. They are a simple piece of plastic that cost a butt load, that you really need to function properly. I wish that there was a factory engine flush that came standard on all of these boats.
