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.

If you aren't getting any water out of the pee hole with waterUNDER
PRESSURE from the muffs, there is no need to try a garbage can. You
already have the answer.



I wonder if customer abuse is covered under the Yamaha warranty? :)

Highly doubtful. Nor would I expect it to be.
