Just wanted to hear a few opinions on the best way to flush out a 97 merc bigfoot, (I run it in salt water) I don't have the manufacturers manual nor the particular method to be used. At the moment I use rectangular 'ear muffs', I'm not getting water going into the intake even if I'm holding them on. Will a round set do a better job? Does submerging the shaft in a drum of fresh water work better? I heard this can just reciculate the salt.<br />Thanks for everyones input, and happy boating<br /> <br /> The mad Aussie!
