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: Engine can be stopped, or running at idle speed, when flushing the
cooling system. Do not flush engine using a water system that exceeds
310.26 kPa (45 psi).
1. Remove the plug from fitting in the bottom cowl.
2. Attach a water hose to the fitting. Turn on the water and flush for 3–5
minutes.
