Flushing Cooling System and Fogging

Cooling system flushing is essential to pre-
vent the cooling system from clogging up
with salt, sand, or dirt. In addition, fogging
of the engine is mandatory to prevent
expensive engine damage due to rust.
Perform the flushing and fogging at the
same time.

Flushing with the Flushing Attachment
c C
Avoid running the outboard at high
speed while on the flushing attachment,
or overheating could occur.
1) Remove the top cowling and silencer
cover. Remove the propeller.
2) Install a flushing attachment to the
lower unit. (A flushing attachment is
available from a Yamaha dealer).
3) Run the engine at a fast idle for 10-15
minutes while supplying water.
4) Just prior to turning off the engine,
quickly spray “Yamaha Stor-Rite
Engine Fogging Oil” (Part No. LUB-
STRRT-12-00) alternately into each
intake manifold. When properly done,
the engine will smoke excessively and
almost stall.
5) Remove the flushing attachment and
wipe off any excess water.
6) Install the silencer cover and top cowl-
ing. Install the propeller.
