ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor flushing apparatus for flushing a marine engine outboard propulsion unit includes a pair of sealing elements for covering the cooling water inlets of a marine engine propulsion unit. A U-shaped sealing element retainer has a pair of arms and has one of the sealing elements attached to each arm. An elongated hollow rigid pipe has a handle on one end and a metal rod on the other end thereof. The metal rod has an attaching clamp for removably attaching the metal rod and hollow rigid pipe to the U-shaped retainer. The hollow rigid pipe has a water coupling on each end thereof and one of the couplings has a flexible tube attached thereto into one of the sealing elements for conveying water from the hollow tube to the sealing element and the cooling water inlets of an outboard motor. The coupling at the other end of the hollow rigid pipe is attached to a water hose. The handle end of the rigid pipe has a water control valve on the handle for controlling the flow of water and both the handle end and the metal rod end are removably attached to a pipe so that the pipe can be interchanged for different lengths.
