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.

When some people say they "talked to the dealer", they mean they
talked to someone at the dealership. That could be a sales person,
yard boy, receptionist, retired father of the owner with a lot of free
time now that he's not allowed to drive any more, etc. It doesn't
mean he talked to anyone who REALLY knows what he's talking about.
