Your way is not a bad way to do it at all. It does seem like the quick connects at the flush port severely limit the water flow. I'll try flushing at the motor next time and compare the results.
Hello. I have a Freedom 325 and I'm redoing my anchor chain / rode setup. I have 50 feet of 1/4" stainless chain. What is the maximum length of 1/2 inch 8-plait that will fit in the anchor locker? I'm hoping to fit 300+ feet. Thanks.
My quick connects are really tight and seem damaged. Does anyone know who makes them and whether the female end (on the boat) can be purchased by itself?
