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.
Use a Mercury Precision or Quicksilver accessory (or equivalent) flushing
attachment.
IMPORTANT: The engine must be run during flushing in order to open the
thermostat and circulate water through the water passages.
