 Hey guys, my name is Aaron with Sports and Boats. Welcome to Tech Talk. Today we're going to talk about one of the easiest, yes, most important steps to maintaining and prolonging the life of your engine. If you're using your boat in a saltwater environment, flushing your motor is one of the most important steps to maintaining it that you can do. First thing we're going to do is unscrew this quick access flush port right here on the port side of your motor. I'm going to kind of let it drain out if there's any salt water in there, so I'm not flushing it back through. Second step, hooking up your garden hose. I like having an on-off quick connector right down at the bottom of the hose too, that way you can control the flow. Third step, cranking it on. I typically let the motor flush for five to ten minutes. I try to do it as soon as I get back to the dock. That way the motor is warm and there's a possibility that thermostats are still open. What that does is it ensures that it gets any of those salt particles that are built up in the cooling sleeves of the motor. All right guys, that's a wrap. I'm going to unhook the hose, hook the port back up to the engine, and call it a day. This is the easiest and most effective way to prolong the life of your motor.
