Fresh water flush out w/ hose while seadoo is floating in brackish water?

Hey folks,

I'm in brackish water with a 2020 Seadoo RXTX 300. Can the fresh water flush out with hose pipe be done while the seadoo is floating in brackish water?

I don't know if the fresh hose water completely prevents the raw water intake from sucking. Skeptical. And if so, seems like it'd be important to cut off the motor immediately after shutting off the fresh hose water.

Also there may be water entry through the exhaust while the seadoo is turned off just floating in the water.

Thanks for input.

Well it can but it won't do any good, the pump pressure from brackish water would not allow any fresh water to enter the exhaust system. Although if your hose pressure was higher than the pump pressure you might get some backflushing but also if the pump pressure and hose pressure were close to the same you would not get either backflushing or cooling and that would not be good.

Yep, that makes sense. Thanks skiasylum
