Yes! Flush-M™ is designed to directly replace the OEM sealed flush plug on most Mercury 4-stroke outboards, including Verado and Pro XS models.

Flush-M™ is compatible with all late model Mercury™ outboards between 75HP-450HP in all 4 engine series including Verado®, Pro XS®, Four Stroke and Sea Pro.

An image of the OEM plug can be found in the product image reel, if the plug on your engine looks alike, the Flush-M™ is compatible with your engine - there are no variants of the OEM plug.

The OEM flush plug has the part number #22-888958001 embossed on the inside of the plug, alternatively, use the Mercury® online parts catalog.

Flush-M™ uses marine-grade materials, UV protection, and a watertight seal specifically designed for outboard engines — it’s not just a garden connector.

Most noticeably, the Flush-M™ takes the universal practicality of a quick connect and merges it with an accurately engineered base that cams perfectly securing itself to the Mercury® outboard engine cowling. This is a key feature that facilitates a watertight seal that protects the engine and wiring harness from corrosion. Some additional key differences of the Flush-M™ include, a larger hole for increased water flow, a conical port to sealing against the cap, and a wrench color for installation leverage.

Flush-M™ utilises a Gardena® style connector to make our product a universal application for our customers around the world. A universal connection means customers are not forced to purchase additional uniquely engineered quick connects that cannot be sourced locally and increase the end product price.

Even freshwater contains minerals that can build up in cooling passages. Flushing removes debris and helps prevent corrosion inside your engine.

Operating in freshwater has the same risks of your engine picking up foreign material as salt water engines do. Be it dirty lake water, running through mud and weed or simply picking up sand from reversing of the shoreline. Your engine cooling passages are fractions of an inch even on larger HP models as well as the associated hardware such as thermostats and check valves are all susceptible to clogging and fouling. Flushing is a sure way of expelling any foreign matter and keeping your investment safe from overheating.

Yes — automated systems often rely on standard fittings that can leak or wear over time. Flush-M™ provides a secure, tool-free, permanent connection.

Having Flush-M™ installed on vessels with auto-flushing is insurance against a failure of these systems. We highly recommend the redundancy Flush-M™ offers in these situations. 

Not at all. It maintains optimal flow rate for efficient flushing without over-pressurizing your engine.

No, the narrowest part of the Flush-M™ water passage is larger than the diameter of the engines associated internal flushing hoses and or check valve inlet/ outlet. 

The Flush-M™ is made in an injection mold process and has added UV inhibitors rendering the end product extremely tough and UV stable even for the full time Florida sun.

Flush-M™ primarily expedites and makes the fresh water engine flushing procedure far easier, as it is permanent installation which uses universal hose quick connects that facilitate immediate flushing.

The Flush-M™ has also been engineered with a few unique features:

#1 The flush-M™ cap is not only aesthetic but also plugs and seals the flush port inhibiting water egress in the instance that the engines check valve has failed or fouled. *Cap is secure up to +-20PSI.

#2 Operators in freezing climates can punch out the sacrificial cap seal to facilitate drainage of residual water that could otherwise freeze and rupture internal flush hoses. This is an irreversible step which replicates the 2 vent holes in the OEM plug.

Yes it is entirely. Flush-M™ comes ready to use out of the box and includes a new cowling wafer style O'ring to ensure a watertight seal. The Flush-M™ base and retaining tabs are the exact dimensions of the OEM plug in which it replaces, insuring a perfect watertight and firm seal.

Flush-M™ is designed strictly for flushing with water pressure, not for engine operation.

We recommend customers follow their operators manual and use the Flush-M™ in the same manner as the manual indicates to use the OEM flush port. 
We prefer customers to use the Flush-M™ with the engine off.

Yes there is, the Flush-M™ has conducted all R&D on a quad engine vessel for over a year without space being an issue.

We recommend using a flexible elastic hose with a on/ off valve at the quick connect for ease of use.

Another easy way to create more space is to flush the engines in sequence from the starboard most engine, trimming it up slightly creating clearance from the cowling of the next inboard engine that is at rest in the down position.
