I called the dealer. He said to connect the hose at the flushing
attachment, but not to let the engine get over idle speed.


If the dealer said to use the flusher hose and fitting under the
motor's powerhead, I'd be having a word with that dealer person. The
Yamaha owners manual, service manual, and training seminars state
specifically NOT to run the motor using it. Only run the motor with
the "earmuff" type flushers around the gearcase, preferably the dual
hose feed style muffs.

I had to buy the double sided muffs for the 115 - the single doesn't
cut it. The rectangular type seems to also work better than the
round ones. Don't know about the 90 - it's hasn't seen sal****er yet.

I've got the double sided muffs, the best one's West Marine sells, with
water coming to both sides. Maybe the impeller's shot. Today I'm going to
put the engine in a big garbage can, fill the can with water and start
the
engine. If I don't get some water from the 'pee hole' then I'll know
something's dicked up with the enging.

There might be something in the pee hole obstructing the flow.

How did this conversation degrade from discussing a Yamaha F150 to
suddenly a conversation on Kidney Stones? Damn those things hurt.
