On my 450 the previous owner drilled and tapped the top of each strainer and put in a on off valve with a hose quick disconnect. You put fresh water hose on fitting with engine running and open it up then close the seawater. Fush engines about 3 minutes. Turn off water and engine at same time as not to blow seals. I like your system too looks great.

Strainer is not rated for street pressure. I blew out my strainer gasket and cracked the plastic bowl that way. But it was from vacuum cause garden hose can't flow fast enough. Leave through hull open to prevent killing your strainer in all cases. My wye feeds before and after pump so no pressure build up and engine running is optional.
