Remote River Man Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just wondered if anyone here has used these, and if so, how did they work for you, to flush out your outboard? https://www.roadtechmarine.com.au/outboard-flush-bag-large/p/MGA454?pos=1&queryId=9451f6e113b3dcfc488f457215fbe611 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plethora Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 This would work at a fraction of the cost from Bunnings (Drill a few holes and a bung hole at the bottom to drain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryhard Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If storage is an issue then the Bunnings solution will be problematic. I have a large collapsible bucket for flushing my 90hp johnson. Mine looks like a much cheaper one than in the OP link. I find it to be a major pain in the rear...if the ground is not perfectly level, it collapses and the motor barely fits in. I only use it out of courtesy to my neighbours - limit the noise. Generally I have found using collapsible buckets problematic....small or large. If you have the space, go with the Bunnings option (or similar) Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The old 44 gallon drum is the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To @kingie chaser's comment : Manufacturer's typically recommend flushing with muffs, there's another recent topic going that has concluded muffs with twin water feed are superior. Thanks for the reference @motiondave, the problem I had to solve was 2Stroke idle noise while flushing as I live in a suburban area and prefer 15min or longer flushing time - often late in afternoon, early evening when I'm back from the water. This was my post on the muffler set up: Cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I made a plastic drum up for mine ages ago that's cheap and works great when I want to flush mine.A half drum takes up bugger all space and could be stored pretty much anywhere.I recommend plastic and not steel as it's light and doesn't rust. Mate and brother in-law had collapsible and now do what i do. The drum I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If the neighbours whinge about the noise I tell them to help themselves to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 And if they whinge about the 2 stroke smell I tell them to wear this with those and them.😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
