Is there an easier route to flush the engine for the Speedster 150? There isn't enough room to twist the garden hose so water always leak when I attempt to do it.

Let it leak...I have the same problem when i flush mine after a weekend of boating..It hasen't seemed to affect it yet... it just makes a mess, but then again there is water goin everywhere anyways.

it doesnt matter if it leaks water is still going in, i have been flushing mine like that and no problems yet considering that i mostly ride in salt water..

Just go to Home Depot and get a hose quick connect $6,put the nipple on the fitting on the boat and the connector portion on the hose . I put my ladder down and put it in foward and just push it, in in a second ,no problems

A very popular option from Sea Doo that costs about $21.00 US is a flush kit (295500068) which can be installed in the rubber near the highest part of the stainless steel exhaust riser as close to the riser as possible. With normal city water pressure the leakage at the back of the boat isn't enough to keep the flushing from occurring. We install it in almost every boat we sell because it allows you to flush the engine from inside of the boat. Since the engine must be running before the water is turned on it keeps you from having to scramble in and out of the boat if you are flushing by yourself. It is also handy if you keep the boat on a lift.

Another option.... run to the hardware store and get a male and female hose repair kit and an inline cut off valve. Make a section of hose about 18" long with the male on one end, the female and the cut off valve on the other. Use this to thread onto the boat, that way you are not trying to spin 30 feet of hose. you can spin on the short section, hook up your water hose, leave the valve in the off position, start your boat turn the valve on......and so on and so forth. I have mine setup with a quick connect from the hardware store too. Biggest thing I like is having the cut off valve so I am not running back and forth to the house to cut the water on and off. Just a thought....little bit of water spraying doesn't hurt anything, just doesn't seem proper..
