ENGINE FLUSHING

If your engines are not equipped with a close-
water cooling system, fresh water flush your
engines after each use in salty, polluted or
brackish water. Flushing your engines will
minimize the formation of deposits that can clog
cooling passages.
Formula offers a fresh water flushing system on
engines that do not have a closed-water cooling
system. The optional flushing port is located on
the front starboard side of the engine.
