Stanley,
Install a t-connection to your water intake hose, with a ball valve to open and close the new, open-ended hose going into the tee - you'll love yourself for it when it's time to suck in some antifreeze, fresh water (I do this after every trip, to flush out the brackish water), vinegar or muriatic acid (for acid flushes), or just for running the engine while on the hard.
