Bill, you could use both the flush fitting and the muffs, if you want to be fussy about it. I assume you'll be running in fresh water when you get home - that would work just as well.

Not picking on you, but as a primarily salt water boater these days, it's always surprising to me when fresh water guys think the motor is going to disintegrate at the first whiff of salt. It won't, honest - my big Yamaha has been on a mooring in salt for 10 years, and the only time it sees fresh is when I flush it at the end of each season.

However, if your trailer is not galvanized you'll want to rinse it very carefully.
