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.
NOTE: The outboard can be tilted or in the vertical operating
position during flushing.
1. With the engine turned off, place the outboard in either the
operating position (vertical) or in a tilted position.
2. Disconnect the flush connector from the fitting on the bottom
cowl.
