ABSTRACT:
A self-gripping spring-biased accessory for directing water from an outside source to flush out the cooling system of a marine engine. The accessory comprises a U-shaped retainer terminating at its upper ends in a pair of resilient suction cups which are constructed to bear against the cooling water intake ports on opposite walls of the engine housing. At least one of the cups is connected to an external source of flushing water. A particular feature of the invention, disclosed in several different embodiments of the invention, is that the U-shaped retainer is provided with an auxiliary device to impart a spring-bias to the legs, urging them to move towards one another to secure the suction cups in resilient sealed relation against the cooling water intake ports. In a further modification, a device is provided to apply the flushing water simultaneously to intake ports on opposite walls of the engine housing.
