MAINTENANCE

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.

1. Place outboard in a test tank containing fresh water. Start the

outboard and operate for 3 to 4 minutes.

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.
