- If you own a boat with an outboard motor, you need to understand how to give it a freshwater flush. This is an extremely important outboard maintenance chore, and will significantly increase the lifespan of your engine - especially if you use it in saltwater. Join boats.com Senior Editor Lenny Rudow, as he walks us through the steps of flushing outboards with a flushing port, and with a pair of earmuffs.

I use a 5hp outboard on my yacht and don't have access to water, particularly when I am sailing along the coast, so I flush once a week, or sometimes montly and occasionally once a season. I consider it a luxury to clean after each and every use. Plus, when overnighting or at anchor for awhile, I take the propeller out of the water to spare the annode.
What do I have to change I'm getting water in my top pistons on my outboard motor I got a 75 Mercury and I'm getting water on my top pistons what do I have to change out
Hi I have a problem with engine the shines the sensor regularly 123 1234567 I don't know where the problem is . Can you help me please? My outboard is df115a 2015
Actually, you should run it for more than 7 minutes because it takes 7 minutes for the thermostat to open up from a cold start. You want the thermostat opened so water goes everywhere.
So it's takes 7 minutes for the water to spit out the back? or water should flow right after starting?
I just bought a boat with a 150hp Suzuki, and I noticed there are two such ports for rinsing. One is easy to reach but the second one (the one you've rinsed in the video) is hard to reach from the boat. I have only been rinsing through the top port. What is the difference and should I be rinsing through both? Thank you for your advice!
I have the same. I think the top port is for hot flush and the bottom for cold flush.
The side port is simply easy to reach when the boat is on a trailer and the top (front) one is easier to reach when the boat is berthed in the water. That’s all. The water goes to the same places.
i just brought a new 20hp suzuki outboard but im old school i like to keep extra spark plugs for emergency but i cant find there location mind dose have garden hook up which is pretty cool i bought cause of strong warrenty and stright gas and when i buy new it should last a life time
What if you run in salt water every day? Do you need to flush it daily?
After every single use.
I am new to boating and when I gave it a freshwater flush I did run the motor! Did I damage anything?
nooo
I'm assuming these are your personal boats. Why did you choose Suzuki, I have no brand preference yet but I'm just wondering.

that why i brought
I chose Suzuki for price and warranty I figured what’s the big difference now a days if it’s new. I have a friend who sells Yamahas and he said I made a good choice, he’s especially surprised how quiet my engine is
Because all the coast guards in Australia (where I am) runs Suzukis. It says something about their reliability.
bad advice thermostat has to open to flush out everything static flush only does part of the job
Bad lighting. What you were doing was in shade.
