This motor was in salt water over Thanksgiving weekend and had motor troubles and we were affraid to run the motor to flush the cooling system. Tomorrow i'm going to do a compression check. Now to the real question, If a cylinder(s)fails and we can't run the motor, how can I make sure the cooling system is salt free from the foot to the pee hole?<br /><br /> Thanks, Boo

Pull the lower unit and hook a hose to the water tube and the pressure will flush the powerhead
