recently acquired 2003 evinrude 250hp. am not sure about this plug in the back of cowling. kinda figured it might be a flushing hook up, but not sure how to use it. should it be removed? is there another attachment i need to use it? thanks for any info you might have and help

My '98 Johnny V6 has a removeable plug on the rear of the cowling. A garden hose can fit the threads for flushing. OMC (actually BRP) sells a quick connect that scres into the port for flushing. You may also use a conventional flusher device on the water intakes.

My Yammy has a hose connection to flush the engine, but I understand NOT to run the engine while doing it that way. Check on what you're allowed to do on your motor before running it with only the hose connector flushing it.

Looks like a quick disconnect fitting for flushing. Get an owner's manual here free:

BTW, most BRP products can be run on the flusher.

There's a fitting that goes on the hose so you can quickly hook up the hose. The whole thing is like an air hose quick connect, only larger.
