Just became owner of 2014 ETEC 90 for the 1966 16 Custom I have been working on. Owners manual and dealer state that the flush using a garden hose connection is sufficient. I was told that you can flush with lower unit muffs but not recommended. If I am correct the hose hookup does not circulate any water to upper portion of engine. Any input on subject is appreciated.

Go with the owners manual. Both methods are effective.
Don't make it harder than it is.

The hose hookup circulates water throughout the engine, including the upper portion. A good place for E-TEC questions is the E-TEC Owner's Group.
