Yamaha 8hp 4-stroke advise........
.........please.
I have just bought a 2004 8hp 4-stroke ouboard along with a Yam300s SIB. Yipeeeeee......
Anyway, unfortunately the chap did not have the engine manual handy and can not get it to me until March. In the meantime I need some advise on flushing. I believe the yam has a fresh water flush point without having to start the engine ?
Where on the engine it is and how does one attach the hose ?
Cheers.........

If you are talking about the "Fresh Water Flushing System" described here
http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/p...t_overview.jsp
then I don't think its a "standard" feature (on the small engines?) I have a new (2005) 20HP 2 stroke and it doesn't have this feature.

You can download Mercury/Mariner manuals too.
http://www.marinepower.com/download/main?type=corp
Not sure about other manufacturers. It seems silly these days if you can't, they start life on the computer anyway!

Never noticed before - maybe it's fairly new - hopefully Suzuki and others will follow suit!!!

You MAY have problems when I printed off the Yam 15hp manual I found they had disabled the print function in Acrobat!!! There is a way around it but can't remember what I did - do a search on this site if you have probs - was discussed before!!!

On models F8C and FT8D you just need to read page 2-35....
