WARNING
Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never
operate the boat out of the water with a propeller installed. Before
installing or removing a propeller, place the drive unit in neutral
and engage the lanyard stop switch to prevent the engine from
starting. Place a block of wood between the propeller blade and
the anti‑ventilation plate.
1. Remove propeller. Refer to Propeller Replacement. Remove
the water plug from the motor, and screw in the flushing
attachment (hose adapter).
2. Connect a hose to the flushing attachment to flush out the
inside of the motor with water. (Be sure to seal the water
strainer and sub water strainer, located in the gear case, with
tape.)

3. With the shift lever in Neutral (N), run the engine at a low speed
while flushing the cooling system to ensure all sea water and
mud are removed.
4. Check for a steady stream of water flowing out of the water
pump indicator hole. Continue flushing the outboard for 3 to 5
minutes, carefully monitoring water supply at all times.
5. Stop the engine, turn off the water, and remove the flushing
attachment. Reinstall the propeller.
