I've just bought a small yacht with a 5hp outboard fitted. I have the original instruction booklet, pictures only no words, which shows 3 flushing methods.
1. In a container of fresh water
2. Via a screw in connector just about the water inlets
3. Via a small set of water muffs.
Method 1 is awkward for me due to location. I have the connector for Method 2 but as yet haven't been able to remove the screw-in cover, the previous owner was not one for flushing! Method 3 I cannot find a small enough set of muffs, even tried the local Yamaha dealer
I have 2 questions, grateful for any advice:
With method 2 does the fresh water reach the impellor and hence can I run the engine?
What is the part number for the small flushing muffs?
Many thanks. Bill
