NOTICE
Operating the engine out of the water at high speeds creates suction, which can collapse
the water supply hose and overheat the engine. Do not operate the engine above 1400
RPM out of the water and without sufficient cooling water supply.
7. Depress the throttle only button and slowly advance the throttle until the engine reaches
1300 RPM (± 100 RPM).
8. Observe the water temperature gauge to ensure that the engine is operating in the
normal range.
9. Operate engine with sterndrive in neutral for about 10 minutes or until discharge water
is clear.
10. Slowly return throttle to idle speed position.
11. Stop engine.
12. Shut off water and remove flushing attachment.
13. This step is only required if the boat is to be stored in the water. After the flush procedure
is completed, remove the seawater inlet hose from the thermostat housing and plug
the hose to prevent water from siphoning into the boat. This prevents seawater from
contaminating the engine flush.
14. Tag the ignition switch with an appropriate tag requiring the seawater inlet hose to be
reconnected prior to operating engine.
Flushing the Power Package (Bravo)
General Information
Your authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer can explain how to properly flush your power
package.
Flushing the Power Package
The boat can be equipped with a combination of any of three different types of water
pickups: through the hull, through the transom, and through the sterndrive. The flushing
procedures for these systems are separated into two categories: sterndrive water pickups
and alternative water pickups.
IMPORTANT: Engines that require dual water pickups require a through‑the‑hull or
through‑the‑transom pickup in addition to the sterndrive water inlets.
IMPORTANT: Engines with the sterndrive water inlet blocked off at the gimbal housing and
using a through‑the‑hull or through‑the‑transom pickup need a supply of cooling water
available to both the sterndrive and to the engine during operation.
