1. Fitting
2. Garden hose connector.
3. Garden hose adapter.
2. Screw the garden hose adapter onto a garden hose, which is connected to a fresh
water supply, and then connect it to the garden hose connector.
3. With the engine off, turn on the water tap and let the water flushing through the cooling
passages for about 15 minutes. Turn off the water and disconnect the garden hose adapter
from the garden hose connector.
4. Reinstall the garden hose connector onto the fitting on the bottom cowling. Tighten the
connector securely.
NOTICE:
Do not leave the garden hose connector loose on the
bottom cowling fitting or let the hose hang free during normal operation. Water will
leak out of the connector instead of cooling the engine, which can cause serious
overheating. Be sure the connector is tightened securely on the fitting after flushing
the engine
.
TIP:
⚫
When flushing the engine with the boat in the water, tilting up the outboard motor until it
is completely out of the water will achieve better results.
