E-Tec 175 flushing adapter

[David G]

Afternoon All,
Can anyone help me with a part number and UK supplier for the screw-in flushing adapter suitable for a 175 E-Tec?

A search has thrown up some old threads on home-made Hoselock things, a brass thingie from Walmart in the US but nothing recently nor a part number for this size engine. Also some caveats on different engine sizes....

Thanks in advance,

David.

The part number is " evinrude #775385 quick-disconnect flusher kit"
Mentioned above link is for seller who can send it to EU

I have been using something like this:

Thanks for the reply Mat.

The one you link too seems to be sealed though and other threads talk about the need to drill it out!

Is there not a proper unit for the V6 175Hp E-Tec available from BRP/Evinrude?

I did email a local BRP-Dealer but got no response :-(

Hi David
I have one like the one Mat shows ,,, for my mercury. It replaces the blanking plug and stays in permanently. It is a one way shuttle valve that opens with the water pressure when connected by a hoselock. It closes when at sea due the pressure in the waterways
They shouldn't be used with the engine running (though on an optimax they can though I do not - don't like the idea of water flowing in the opposite direction to the pump )
It will work if you do have a blanked inlet on an e-tec
