Thank you. I have looked in my manual, and I cannot find anything on this hole.

Fresh water flushing attachment, whats the purpose of this?

You put an adapter/attachment thingee into the hole and attach a garden hose,
the other end is connected to a garden type tap,
you then turn on said tap and water flows through the motor case flushing out salt "crystals " etc etc that may otherwise block the cooling passages in said motor,

it's part of normal maintenace,

you should try and find a operators handbook BEFORE running this outboard,
it will also tell you whether this particular motor needs to be running during the above operation,

some don't,
but l think it would be wise if you did it anyway,

Thank your mother for the rabbits,

Thank you Tassie Now it makes senses.
I just looked at my manual, it was the service manual and not operator manual.
