NOTICE
Operating the engine out of the water at high speeds creates suction, which can collapse the water supply hose and overheat
the engine. Do not operate the engine above 1400 RPM out of the water and without sufficient cooling water supply.
11. Press the throttle only button and slowly advance the throttle until the engine reaches 1300 RPM (± 100 RPM).
12. Observe the water temperature gauge to ensure that the engine is operating in the normal range.
13. With the sterndrive in neutral, operate the engine for at least 10 minutes.
14. Slowly return the throttle to the idle speed position.
15. Stop the engine.
16. Shut off the sterndrive water source, and remove the flushing attachment.
17. Shut off the engine seawater pump water source.
18. Raise the sterndrive to the full up/out position.
19. Install the propeller.
20. Connect the engine seawater pump hose to the sea pump and seacock.
21. Open the seacock before starting the engine.
Flushing the Power Package—Bravo Models
The boat can be equipped with a combination of any of three different types of water pickups: through‑the‑hull,
through‑the‑transom, and through‑the‑sterndrive. The flushing procedures for these systems are separated into two categories:
sterndrive water pickups and alternative water pickups.
IMPORTANT: Flushing the power package with the boat and sterndrive in the water is less effective. Flushing the power
package is most effective when performed with the boat and sterndrive out of the water, such as on a boat lift or trailer.
