Hello, anyone devise or acquire a contraption to flush the engines using the flush port simultaneously? I have three engines and rather not stand around for 45 minutes. Thank you
Multiple Engine Flush Process

A standard hose splitter (or two) from HD or Lowe's should do the trick along with some hose repair kits and cutting some old hose to make a rig. That's a very simple/easy solution - does that not work for your setup for some reason?
One downside... especially if your flow rate isn't too great... water will follow the path of least resistance. So it's "possible" that one or even two engines won't get flushed (or not very well). You'll know by monitoring the output water for the first few times.

Dennis is right. If you have 3 engines, I bet they are big. And bigger engines require FULL water pressure.
I do my F300's one at a time (5-10 minutes).
I'm also a believer that doing the flush when the engine is HOT makes a difference.
Accordingly, I'll leave an engine running while the one next to it is off and flushing. After that one is flushed, the HOT engine is turned off and immediately flushed. This is a tip a fellow Grady Owner shared with me.
Flushing while hot keeps your T-stats super clean. Hope this helps...
