NOTE:
Flushing is needed only for salty, brackish, mineral laden or polluted water
applications. Flushing is recommended after each outing for best results.
CAUTION
Overheating from insufficient cooling water will cause engine and drive system
damage. Ensure that there is sufficient water always available at the water inlet
during engine operation.
CAUTION
If flushing with the boat in the water, seawater can flow into the engine causing
engine damage. Water inlet must be closed when flushing the engine.

If flushing the engine with the boat in the water:
a. Close seacock, if equipped, or disconnect and plug seawater inlet hose.
