Let me start by saying, if you own a boat, flushing your engine isn't just maintenance—it's survival. The Seaworks Dual Feed Motor Flusher promises to make this chore easier with its steel body and dual water jets. After using it for several months, here's my honest take.
The Good: This flusher is built like a tank. The stainless steel construction feels premium compared to the plastic junk I've used before. The dual feed design? Game-changer. My Yamaha 150HP used to run hot with single-feed muffs, but now gets proper water flow through both intakes simultaneously.
Real-World Testing: I've used it on everything from my neighbor's small Mercury outboard to a friend's Volvo Penta I/O. The silicone cups create an impressive seal—no more water spraying everywhere like a broken fire hydrant. The included adapter for different hose sizes is thoughtful (because who has standardized garden hoses anymore?).
The Not-So-Good: Those flexible hoses everyone mentions? They're frustratingly flimsy. If you don't support them just right, they kink faster than a bad phone cord, cutting off water flow mid-flush. And about leaks—while mine doesn't spray like some reviews mention, I did have to replace the washers immediately to prevent minor dripping at the connections.
Pro Tip: Keep the engine at low RPMs during flushing. The dual jets provide great flow, but rev too high and you'll still risk overheating—no muff can compensate for that.
Final Verdict: At this price point, it's better than most alternatives despite the hose quality issue. Just be prepared to babysit those flexible tubes during use. For V6 and larger engines especially, the dual feed makes this worth putting up with the quirks.
