95 gtx winterizing flush?

[Notwealthy]

Hello again, I winterized my 96 spx yesterday and used the bucket/sump pump technique that i found on you tube. I should point out that I'm a new pwc owner as of 3 weeks ago. Anyway, I then turned to the 95 gtx and the head wasnt the same as I assumed it would be. It didn't have the fresh water intake hose along with the arrows indicating which direction the flow is. There seems to be an exhaust hose coming off the head towards the back of the unit. The port on the head next to it just has a short piece with just a "t" attached to it. I was hoping to use the "power flush" technique on it (since i just bought the pump). Not sure what to do here?

Your GTX has the 650/650X engine. The flush fitting on the head is the smaller one at the back on the exhaust side.

Thank you, but I would like to know if I can remove the flush fitting (see pic) temporarily and plug the garden hose on the the port and use the sump pump technique just as i did on the other ski?
Will the coolant get into all the nooks and crannies that it needs to from there? Is that what the fitting is for IF I had the proper flush kit that is designed for that fitting? Sorry for all the questions, believe me, I did search this topic prior but couldnt find any definitive answers. FWIW I live in Michigan, so winters can be pretty cold at times.

Yes you can totally remove it if you don’t have the factory connection fittings.

Just make sure the engine is running before and after you add any water/antifreeze.

Cool! Do i need to pinch any lines off prior?
