I killed my impeller when winterizing... how do I backflush to remove blades?
I started winterizing, but wasn't aware hose was kinked somewhere, so overheated really quickly. Impeller is in pieces. So now I need to backflush system to remove these- before I can replace impeller and start all over again. Can I do this (flush) by inserting a garden hose to the port side inlet to the thermostate housing, and watch for debris flowing out of lower hose removed from raw water pump? I think this would flush through oil cooler and power steering cooler... Would this work, is this enough?

I think that would work. I have done it using a couple of buckets of water to wash out hose backward.

We have one of those in our marina and it's been owned by the same gentleman for over 20yrs. Rather nice design for the size boat but yes, he says it gets a little dicey in a rough cross chop like...
I havent seen one like this before
