Flushing the Seawater System—Sterndrive Models
Flushing the Power Package—Bravo Models
The boat can be equipped with a combination of any of three different types of water pickups: through‑the‑hull,
through‑the‑transom, and through‑the‑sterndrive. The flushing procedures for these systems are separated into two categories:
sterndrive water pickups and alternative water pickups.
IMPORTANT: Flushing the power package with the boat and sterndrive in the water is less effective. Flushing the power
package is most effective when performed with the boat and sterndrive out of the water, such as on a boat lift or trailer.
