the garden-hose connector 2 from

 

the fitting 1 on the bottom cowling.

 

 

 

2)Screw the garden-hose connector 2 onto a garden hose 3 which is con-

nected to a fresh-water supply.

3) With the engine off, turn on the water tap and let the water flush through the cooling passages for about 15 minutes. Turn off the water and disconnect the garden hose 3.

4)When flushing is complete, reinstall

the garden-hose connector 2 on the

000936fitting 1 on the bottom cowling. Tighten the connector securely.

cC

Do not leave the garden-hose connector loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let the hose hang free during normal opera- tion. Water will leak out of the connector instead of cooling the engine, which can cause serious overheating. Be sure the connector is tightened securely on the fitting after flushing the engine.

NOTE:

8When flushing the engine with the boat in the water, tilting up the engine until it is completely out of the water will achieve better results.

8Refer to cooling system flushing instructions in “TRANSPORTING AND STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR”.
