Flushing the Cooling System
Flush the internal water passages of the outboard with fresh
water after each use in salt, polluted, or muddy water. This will
help prevent a buildup of deposits from clogging the internal
water passages.
Use a Mercury Precision or Quicksilver accessory (or equivalent)
flushing attachment.
IMPORTANT: The engine must be run during flushing in order to
open the thermostat and circulate water through the water
passages.
