    Flush ports

    I know that running an F60 or T8 with the hose attached to the flush port is a no no. My question is when using the flush port (without running the engine) does the impeller and water pump get flushed out?

    Winterized Fuel

    I hear all the time that using winterized fuel in Outboards is a bad thing. In areas that have winterized fuel that contains ethanol - what are suggestions on getting around that problem or just not worry about it?
