I have a question I need answered that I didn't see the answer for in the manual. I think I know the answer, but want to be sure.

Its about the flush hose that allows you to hook to a water hose on the newer Yamaha outboards. Can you start the motor with this thing attached to the garden hose or is it only for flushing with the motor turned off? It seems this flush kit/hose or whatever would eliminate the need for muffs?

Thanks,
