I'm planning on taking my SIB and 5hp honda camping with me to Anglesey/the Llyn in the next few months.
My question is.. how can I flush the outboard after use? do i need to find a marina that will let me, or will it be ok to wait 3 or 4 nights until i get home and i can do it there?
Just wait unil you get home - read the thread about the hose pipe ban and you'll see how long people leave their engines before flushing - it seems 4 days is nothing.
When you come to Anglesey you can call at my place (200yds from Brittania Bridge) and flush it here if yer boffered but as tothers say it aint that critical
I was told by a respected Evinrude & Avon/Zodiac main dealer that if the engine was being used regularly (at least weekly or more) that end of season (or end of regular use period ) flushing would be adequate, so I wouldn't worry about not flushing for 3 or 4 days.
Obviously if you can flush after every use, thats probably better.
