I have a 40 hp Yamaha 2-stroke older outboard that's never been in salt water. I plan to use in salt and brackish in August. Should I flush it out afterward? It'll probably be at least 2 hours before I can get it to a fresh water hook up after running it in the salt.
Thanks.
Certainly would not hurt. A run in a fresh water lake doesn't hurt either
Flush it as soon as you can and make sure the prop shaft is greased well. Without grease, removing the prop will be a real problem in a few years.
Good advise.
I tried to "FLUSH" my outboard, but it wouldn't fit in the toilet. :yikes:Rofl Sorry couldn't resist!
