I ordered and installed a flush kit from skidim (Helpful people there). The install took about 30-40 minutes with a few simple tools. DIY will allow you to mount it where you would like, but there are space constraints. I run my boat in 'brackish' water sometimes, so this is much easier than using a fak-a-lake. The kit was around $60 shipped, so it is cheaper than the factory option if you don't mind a little project.
are you happy with that kit? which size did you buy? thanks
I am very happy with the kit, it is much better than crawling under a wet boat to hook up the Fake-a-lake. 1.25" is the size kit. If you order at skidim.com, just talk to the guys there and tell them your boat and model,they seem to know what you need.
A sharp razor knife (cutting hose in 2 places), screw driver (for the clamps), and wire cutters (wire inside stock hose) are the tools that you need.
They really installed wires in the water hose?Quote:

Indeed, reinforcement wires. They are thicker than I had thought they would be, hence wire cutters.Quote:
