In this 2023 review, Bill Herlong, owner of Herlong Yacht Service, explains how his bow-in docking arrangement affects engine access and the end-of-day routine.
“My boat has to bow in. I use Flushmaster on the end of my hose and flush the engines as I pick up loose stuff and unload the boat. It's done, and I'm ready to wash down.”
His experience illustrates one useful reason to automate the timing: fewer interruptions to switch hoses while you finish other tasks nearby.
Apply the idea to your own boat
Your setup may differ from Bill's. Follow your engine and Flushmaster instructions, confirm the required duration, and check connections and flow when the cycle starts. Choose equipment based on your engine count, water supply and accessible connection points.
