Motor question?

Post by whitebc »

Just a quick question... my 90hp Yamaha motor has a hose connection to "clean out" the motor after use, can you run the motor with this hose connected?

NO. The water flush it but not send any water to the pump, so you'd be running it dry and that doesn't take long to get expensive.
