QSC 540 dripless

[Mike Mason]

QSC 540’s in a Mikelson 43. I want to change the fresh water flush to the upper port on the water pump to be able to flush with engine off. The dripless is currently getting water from the port on the water pump after the impeller. Current fresh water flush is through the cap on the sea strainer.

Where can I pull water for the dripless other than the upper port on the raw water pump?

Thanks

Mike

Muffler Type

Do you have the correct muffler to allow flushing without the engine on? Ignore this if you already figured this out………

Scroll down to the “Lift Muffler” portion of the article.
