A system and apparatus for use in flushing at least a portion of a motor with a cleansing fluid. A water inlet apparatus (10) and inlet (20) for flushing a boat motor with fresh water is provided and a system incorporating the apparatus (10) (and inlet 20) is also provided. In particular, the system and apparatus are used to flush a boat motor with fresh water after use. The apparatus has one or more inlets adapted to receive a fresh water source (e.g. a hose) and a valve, such as a diaphragm valve, that selectively allows flow of the fresh water into the motor instead of its usual water source (e.g. salt water). Preferably the valve is automatic and is actuated under pressure of the incoming fresh water. The inlet(s) are secured in a surface of the boat inside a basin, which may have a cover (optional) to protect the inlet(s) from the weather/elements.
