When outboard motors are run in muddy or silty environments, flushing becomes even more critical. Here’s why: Mud and Silt Build-up: When navigating through muddy waters, small particles of mud, silt, and sand can be drawn into the motor’s cooling system. These particles can accumulate over time, potentially clogging the water intakes and internal passages. If left unchecked, this can reduce water flow and lead to overheating. Erosion of Internal Components: Mud and silt are abrasive, and consta
