Step-by-Step: How to Install Flush-M™

Step 1: Locate the Factory Flush Port

Find the OEM sealed flush plug on your outboard engine. This is typically located on the side or rear of the engine cowling, depending on whether you have a Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, or Honda 4-stroke outboard.

Step 2: Remove the OEM Flush Plug

Carefully unscrew and remove the original factory flush plug.
This plug is no longer needed once Flush-M™ is installed.

Tip: If the plug is tight, remove it slowly to avoid cross-threading.

Step 3: Install the Flush-M™ Quick Connect Fitting

Thread the Flush-M™ fitting into the flush port by hand until snug.
The integrated O-ring creates a watertight seal, preventing leaks while flushing.
