Is the water flow from this hose enough to hook to a 150 HP boat motor for flushing purposes at the end of the day? Thanks for any replies!

With the proper fittings on the lower unit of your outboard or i/o and sufficient clean water presser you should be able to flush the motor.

As long as the foot of the outdrive has water intakes like an outboard AND the flusher covers the intakes, it should work. I would definitely have the water on full pressure. It works to perfection on my 200 HP Evinrude. For the record, when my Volvo-Penta powered cruiser, with V-P Duoprop outdrive was kept in drystack, they flushed the engine through the outdrive every time it was taken from the water. You might also ask your local drystack marina about it.

Dont think so. Water should be pumping out. Otherwise, pump motor will burn up. Make sure the water level in your tank is high enough.

I don't know why you would run it out of water due to the danger the rotating prop would create to someone not paying attention. Water would create sufficient friction on the prop to keep the engine from exceeding the maximum rpm. It would be best to email Minnkota with this question. I sure a couple of seconds to see if the motor is working wouldn't damage anything.

With my use I usually only ran 40-50 lbs for good rpm control, and light load, and a 3/8 hose, possibly your load is overriding the torque, but at 150 lbs of pressure it is quite likely that you will need a 3/8 or larger hose for this to produce its max torque under a fairly heavy load. Dan

Yes u need a hose for the discharge side of the pump. This is for clean up not permanent installation. I use it only for spills or flooding and have a sump pump that has a built in float installed for seepage.

Not well. I hoped to use it with a soaker but was disappointed. I did use it with a normal hose to transfer water fromone barrel to another and it worked ok in that task.

I am not the seller, but yes, it could reduce the pressure ever so slightly. I think though that typically, it is negligeable as the GPM flow (only a few GPM) is not that high. Do some searching on line. Pressure drop is common on long lengths and high flow rates, but I doubt there any effect here. fyi - I wouldn't buy this hose. Buy a CAT.

I used a length of garden hose that threaded on to the unit. It is about 15 feet to the sump drain. Works perfectly.

Yes, this hose will do the job. I have used it on our pressure washer that puts out 1700 psi water pressure.

Yes but I'd hook the Flush King to your trailer then the permanent hose then any additional hoses. Leave the Flush King permanently installed as I do.

Yes, it is a smaller diameter hose and restricts water flow. If you are filling a large pool this is not the hose for you. Plenty of waterfor car washing and plant watering.

I run mine off my garden tractor battery while I tow it around. I use 15 gallons of spray at a time so it works out really well for me.

You would be far better off using a sump pump designed to do that task. There is no drain port, sump pumps can be rented cheaply, and if you did try to make your own drain and use this to empty large volumes of water you would burn out the motor quickly.

Not at all. You better have at least a 1hp motor as well, because it really needs the added power to clean the bottom of the pool.

The flow rate through the pump and filter will be reduced a little. Consider the strain on the motor when the filter is dirty--the tiny bit of additional strain due to smaller diameter hoses will be nothing compared to that.

Lee, I used this hose for my boat fuel tanks that snaked through bulkheads for use as a filler hose. You could make approx a 16" diameter circle with this hose before it kinks. But it is a Fuel fill hose, marine grade. Good luck.
