Suzuki 150hp flushing issue
Submitted by Mitch1 on Sun, 2019-09-08 12:35
Hi Guys,
I'm having an issue with my 2013 model suzuki 150hp outboard not feeding any water out of the tell tale when connected to the ear muffs and hose at home. Tell tale has been fine when out on the ocean but will not pass any water though when at home wether it is in neutral or forward/reverse. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mitch

Blow a little compressed air
Blow a little compressed air down the telltale with motor off
Alternatively inside the outboard cover should a small rubber hose connected to the tell tale.
Unplug from both ends and clean with a bit of wire.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Try moving the muffs around
Try moving the muffs around the intake and put a bit of pressure on them with your hands also.. you should start to see some water movement

Maybe not enough hose
Maybe not enough hose pressure. My 150 yams need a bit of tilt before any water comes out of the telltale.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

I use whipper snipper line , keep some in the boat at all times. Just remember to tie a knot in one end !

I had problems getting mine going, until I bought the dual feed outboard flushers...these are great, highly recommended
