Default How to flush Evinrude 6hp 4 Stroke 2000yr

Hello,

Something that should be so simple and i can't figure it out. I have a 2000 6hp 4 stroke evinrude outboard. How can i flush this short of putting the bottom end in a barrel (which is what i have been doing)? I don't see how the typical muffs will work. There is a rubber plug on the back of the engine, but it doesn't want to come out without a lot of force and I am reluctant to really tear at it without knowing if it is indeed some kind of flush"port". i have included a couple of images to illustrate the areas in question. Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot use muffs on my 6hp 2 stroke either so has to be flushed in tank/barrel

That rubber plug is #20 in THIS DIAGRAM ? Described as "Grommet, exhaust" .

Looks like a "sail" version with those two cavitation plates ?
