ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a new and improved outboard motor flushing device system for simplifying the cleaning of small horsepower motors. The system includes a horizontally oriented support plate for an outboard motor. A backing plate with long horizontal upper and lower edges and short vertical front and rear edges is positioned adjacent to the support plate with a space therebetween. The backing plate has clamps adjacent to the front edge and the rear edge with coupling bolts and wing nuts. The backing plate also has a water port therethrough with a pair of spaced apertures on opposite sides of the port. A pad is positioned between the support plate and the backing plate with an enlarged opening overlying the hole. A water channel has a bore with a sideways facing input end and an output end overlying the water port with threaded apertures on opposite sides of the water port with two screws passing through the vertically spaced apertures and engageable in the threaded apertures for the selective positioning of the housing with respect to the backing plate. Lastly provided is a horn. The horn has a threaded coupler at its inboard end secured with respect to the backing plate, and an intermediate portion extending through the pad. An enlarged outboard end is provided for directing a flow of water over the input end of the motor.
