To those who flush your little motors in a barrel or trough. Don't be alarmed if it doesn't run quite right, smokes alot and leaves oil floating on the water.<br />My 86 DT-6 Auxiliary has always run poorly in a barrel, but yesterday when I needed it out on the water, she never missed a beat. No sign of smoke or rough idle, started 1st time and pushed our 15 ft F/Glass boat at near 5 knots out of the shallow water where we drifted, and back into deeper water.<br />Don't underestimate those little motors...
