ABSTRACT:
An adaptor assembly designed to effectively flush outboard motors by directing the flushing water directly into plurality of water inlets normally formed in the lower gear case housing portion of the outboard motor. The adaptor assembly includes a base removably attached at an inlet end thereof to a source of water such as a water hose and including an outlet end having a conduit assembly connected in water receiving relation thereto and extending outwardly therefrom. A distal end of the conduit assembly is specifically dimensioned and configured to be inserted within one or more of the water inlets formed in the outboard motor housing and form a define a focused, concentrated and generally water tight seal with the water inlets so that water may be delivered directly thereto under pressure to ensure adequate distribution throughout the entire cooling system of the outboard motor while minimizing or effectively eliminating the inadvertent and concurrent introduction of air to the cooling system and or misdirection of water outside of the inlets during the flushing process.
