Engine Flushing
Flush the outboard with fresh water following each
use in brackish, salt, or polluted water to minimize
the accumulation of scale and silt deposits in cool-
ing system passages.
The outboard can be flushed on the trailer or at
dockside; running or not running.
IMPORTANT:
The outboard must be located in a
well ventilated area with appropriate ground drain-
age during the flushing procedures.
Keep water inlet pressure between 20 to 40 psi
(140 to 275 kPa).
