I was told by a guy with a seadoo pwc that when you flush out your engine after use you should start the engine before you turn on the hose to keep water from getting into the cylinders...is this true or is it like an outboard where you start the water then turn on the motor....ps i have a mercruiser not twin rotax

Luke,

Also, read this thread of mine.

Main thing, do not run the boat for a long time out of the water when flushing, it is not necessary and you can ruin the impeller bushing which is not cooled.
