9. Operate the engine with the transmission in neutral for a minimum of 10 minutes.
10.
For power packages operated in salty, brackish, mineral
‑
laden, or polluted water:
Continue to operate the engine
until the discharge water is clear.
11. Slowly return the throttle to idle speed position.
12. Stop the engine.
13. Immediately shut off the supply water and remove the flushing attachment.
14. Install the water inlet hose to the seawater inlet of the seawater pump. Tighten the hose clamp securely.
The Boat in the Water—Inboard Models
IMPORTANT: Flushing the power package is most effective when performed with the boat out of the water.
IMPORTANT: We recommend flushing the engine after each outing in salty, brackish, mineral‑laden, or polluted water and
before cold weather and extended storage.
NOTICE
Disconnecting the seawater inlet hose will cause water to enter the bilge resulting in engine damage. Close the seacock
before disconnecting the seawater inlet hose. Plug the seawater inlet hose immediately after disconnecting it.
1. Close the seacock, if equipped, then disconnect the seawater inlet hose to prevent water from siphoning into the engine or
boat.
2. If not equipped with a seacock, disconnect the seawater inlet hose from the seawater pump, and immediately plug the
hose to prevent water from siphoning into the engine or boat.
3. Using a suitable adapter, connect the flushing hose from the water source to the water inlet of the seawater pump.
NOTICE
Flushing the engine when it is not operating will result in water collecting in the exhaust system, damaging the engine. Do not
supply flush water for more than 15 seconds without the engine operating.
4. Completely open the water source to provide maximum water supply.
5. Place the remote control in the neutral idle speed position.
6. Immediately start the engine.
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 the engine with the transmission in neutral for a minimum of 10 minutes.
10.
For power packages operated in salty, brackish, mineral
‑
laden, or polluted water:
Continue to operate the engine
until the discharge water is clear.
11. Slowly return the throttle to idle speed position.
12. Stop the engine.
13. Immediately shut off the supply water and remove the flushing attachment.
14. Tag the ignition switch with an appropriate tag requiring the seacock to be opened or the seawater inlet hose to be
reconnected prior to operating the engine.
