Flush Kit Install Instructions & Advise

Has anyone done this on a Challenger 180? I'm not sure if it's a simple as splicing into the hose that's hooked up to the flush connector and capping that connector off on the outside. Or if there's a better location to splice into closer to the front of the engine compartment. During normal operation does the engine suck water from this flush hose? I'm wondering or not to cap it off if I splice into the hose.
Ideally, I want to be able to hoist up the boat on the lift, open the engine compartment, hook up a hose, power on, hose on, flush for a few minutes, hose off, power off, disconnect hose, then rinse the engine compartment and be done with it.
If anyone has hose diagrams for 2008 that would be very helpful. I've seen the diagrams on the OEM parts sites but they don't show where the flush connector hose.

In a few months I plan on using my Challenger 180SE in salt water. The boat will be up on a lift after each use so it will be very difficult to hook up a hose to the flush connector (even if I added a quick connect adapter). Instead I'd like to splice in a connection inside the engine compartment.
