Angela,

Great Job. Flushing of the motors is always my job, so seeing the result of not doing it correctly was very informative!!

Thank-You.

I have a new Yamaha 225 and do not like using the muffs. In your video you mention that the water flushes all the way down to the impellar and back up to the motor. Are you saying that starting the motor to flush is not nessesary?

Hi Tom!
Yes, according to Yamaha Motor Corp. when using the flush kit on the Yamaha engines it is not necessary to start the engine. The water passes through the engine at all points flushing all the salt away and flushes through the thermostat housing and flushes the thermostat. Flush for about 10-15 minutes.
Happy Boating!
