Going to start doing my own oil and trans fluid change.
Looking at the Fake-a-lake or Engine flush kit. (Depending on what ever you want to call it)
Everyone I have found would require me to cut it down in size to make it fit between the ground and bottom of boat. I hate to spend $45 bucks on something just to have to tear it up to modify it so it will fit.
I have heard of people making their own with a water hose and a plunger. Has anyone heard of this and how to go about making one?
Thx

Bama Axis, we use the Newt Juice Gusher Flusher in our service department and carry them in our store. They handle the constant abuse our service team puts on them and they hold up really well. The handle is extendable and works with the Axis boats and everything else we have come through our shop.

We sell them for $47 but they are worth it.

As for the plunger method, all you would need to do is cut a hole in the plunger and get some hose flanges/quick connects.

I used this one. Collapses plenty short to work on my T22 which I imagine sits similarly on the trailer to your A22.

That's the one that I was looking at but I am not 100% certain that it will fit under my boat.
I had my trailer lowered so that it would fit in my storage unit.
I will go measure tomorrow and double check.
