Re: flush bag
Looking good all tucked up in there !
Flush Bags- a mate has them for his bog boats - but I think unless you have a hose to fill them you are going to struggle ( assuming you mean the big 'bucket' bags . I'd not worry too much about not flushing on occasional basis . A good clean & flush with Salt away or similar when you can should be fine

Re: flush bag
Hey @sonny1 new boat looks great, hope you’re pleased with it.
Agree with @PeterM, no problem not flushing for a few days whilst away….a good flush when back home should suffice.
If you’re worried and feeling ‘flush’ then could always try something like a Mobi V15 or V17 Portable Pressure washer.

We have a V17 washer from our days racing cyclocross and successfully used to clean off the bikes in the pits mid race. Never tried it on the boat but theoretically can’t see why it couldn’t be connected to the Mercury flush port with a suitable adapter and run at low pressure. If you can also carry a few refills it could even give the boat a quick hose down as well.
Sealey seem to do a 25l one. No experience of this but better at face value.

Re: flush bag
thanks to @PeterM and @harrison definitely pleased with the boat but should never have sold the other one , you live and learn . i dont know if its the 4 blade prop or hull difference but this boat gets on the plane at around 13 knts and gets there very quickly whereas the former boat seemed to take much longer and would,nt plane til about16 knts. thanks for the advice and i will stop worrying and give a good flush on getting home . ive often wondered about boats that are left out for long periods and obviously never flushed . there you go
