    Muffs for Water Supply to Lower Unit

    What's the best style ear muffs to use on a 225HPDI. I have the round suction cup type and they just don't seal very well with the water pickup on the lower side of the lower unit gear housing. Any suggestions??

    How about hooking up a garden hose to the hose fitting on the port side of the motor?

    I believe the hose attachment is for flushing the motor not to run it I believe that is what it says in the oweners manual. The rectagular ones work at least on my 150.

    When your not flushing your motor, it could be used for those rough water rides to keep the boys cinched up tight

    This looks pretty good. Anyone ever use one? I found what looks to be one being used on http://www.rockysmarine.com/motor_flushing.html. Want to be sure before I spend the 65 bucks.
