Flushing a Yamaha outboard
I have a question I need answered that I didn't see the answer for in the manual. I think I know the answer, but want to be sure.
Its about the flush hose that allows you to hook to a water hose on the newer Yamaha outboards. Can you start the motor with this thing attached to the garden hose or is it only for flushing with the motor turned off? It seems this flush kit/hose or whatever would eliminate the need for muffs? Thanks, Blue

Re: Flushing a Yamaha outboard
Not certain, Blue, and my owner's manual is in the boat bag.
I have only used for flushing with the engine off. Do you need to start the engine with it?

Re: Flushing a Yamaha outboard
All motors have to have muffs, this is for the water pump!!
If the water pump is left to pump dry it will be just quick!! some say in less the 10 sec!

Re: Flushing a Yamaha outboard
Like they sez...the pump needs water. The other flusher I use if I come back too late to disturb the neighbors. The I reflush with the ears in the morning.

Re: Flushing a Yamaha outboard
DO NOT RUN THE MOTOR WHEN FLUSHING A YAMAHA OUTBOARD
I HAVE A NEW 150 4 STROKE OUTBOARD - JUST ATTACH THE HOSE AND FLUSH IT NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RUN THE MOTOR WHEN FLUSHING

Re: Flushing a Yamaha outboard
Don't worry, I haven't done it, but that's what I thought guys. I have a friend with a 115 4-stroke and he swears its ok to run while flushing.
