I always flush my engines after each trip and I rigged a Y-hose with quick connects to make it easier, but I decided to try rigging a semi-permanent setup so the hoses stay attached all the time and I have a single quick-connect (so sorta like the rigged flushing systems that newer gradys come with).
I bought all the components from McMaster. The hardest thing was finding the right tubing at a reasonable price - you need about 10 ft. The hose listed below is the one I should have gotten -- instead I have the thinner version which works fine, but isn't ideal.
