Best Way to Flush out Merc 15?

[KIsland]

I run my 15hp merc in salt water and am looking for the best way to flush it with fresh after pulling it. With my old Evinrude, I could use the muffs and run it clean. With the merc intake above the prop, I can't get normal muffs to work. Since the foot won't fit in a normal sized 5 gallon bucket, I'm left to filling up a huge container - lots of time and water.

Any better solutions out there?

Hi,

Mercury makes a muff flush unit for this engine.

Safety First.
I never run an engine with a prop on it on land. I like the way my legs look.
