Uh... Okay, I have a new to me Suzuki 9.9 high thrust, electric start, power tilt kicker. I wanted to know how to properly flush it, so I got the little adapter, and I read the manual. The manual says... No ****, remove the propeller! AND plug the intake, which BTW is under the cavitation plate, with DUCT TAPE! Not only that, but unlike its big brother, the 140 sitting next to it, you don't just unscrew the flush plug. It requires a Phillips screwdriver!
So my question is this: does anyone actually do all that crap? Remove the prop (this might just be a liability issue) unscrew the flush port, screw in the adapter, tape up the intake, then flush the motor? Or do people just use the good ole muffs? Of course given the location of the intake, using the muffs is pretty tough access.
What the hell were those engineers thinking?
