Hey captain I had a 2008 df140 I always flushed my motor when I would get home from weekend of fishing our water is pretty hard herein arizona every 50 hours I would.change my annodes . Well the hard water was so bad in my motor it clogged the two bottom cylinders the water jackets were like someone threw acid on them because I was getting water in my oil and blew my motor . Sent it to the outboard clinic in palm city florida with 2500 dollar's and go riped off never seen that power head again. Ain't that nice . Outboard clinic sucks !!! He must have needed the money more than I did.

@@stevebabka6210 WOW.... the water's hard here too, the water at home that I run the motor out in with my big trough. Why go out of state and all that. would never have done that.

Dave, Great video! Adding this flush to my matainan

I’m getting my first boat would like for you to be my mentor 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

well it's not just saltwater here, it's also a salt DIRT filled river. But many people think just because they are in freshwater, they never have too ''flush'' their motors. I would at least use the flush ports on motor, or better yet run it on the ''muffs'' with fresh clean water outa a hose! Heat can make any minerals and dirt clog water passages, and 4 strokes make heat.

Glad it helped

FOR ALL, TOO: YES, I had a charter the day after and my zuki ran cooler. I never gave it pure hell, as it was rough and blowing 20+ knots by 10am. But, prior to all the work I did, I'd see temps up to 160 plus degrees all the time. That's not really hot, given the water temp in the ''mud river'' is still 84-85 degrees even after the Hurricane passing by. (prior to hurricane, I'd see river temps up to 87 degrees) Had me and two other on boat and zuki highest temp seen all day was 151. So, I was happy. BY DECEMBER, I will pull internal anodes again, and do another flush. ''BECAUSE, I'm anal & will stick to a schedule''.

P.S. It does have a VHS and Loran. Just concerned about the motor. Thank you and Tight Lines!!

@@bear6090 thanks, I have a lot showing details. I do have a brand new zuki, I bought in May 2020....had a issue, even after extensive maintenance. May not have been related, but in the charter biz, didnt have 3 weeks to sit around waiting for a mechanic to look at it.

it drove me to sleepless nights. Knowing that I'd be coming home on the next days charter with my trusty 15 kicker.........''again''.

Thats all fine and dandy, but my ''Last good meal'' before hurricane Dorian video, got twice the views, in the same time frame as I'm replying to you. So yeah Larry, but it won't. because I'd need more than the ''usual viewership'' to thumbs up it, I'd need all of my 8600 PLUS subscribers to watch and thumbs up it, before YT even would pay attention. ''WE'RE ALL ON A SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE NOW'' Out of 8600 plus subscribers, this will do 3-4-500 views, and in maybe 2-4 years get 20k worth, like my first vid about anodes in YOUR MOTOR that need to be paid attention too.

Posted this to my fishing page. Maybe bump your views.

@@CaptDavesSportfishing Hi Dave, once again thanks for all the great information. So looking at your videos, it seem that you no longer take off the lower unit to do the Rydlyme you just use your flush port (after you take out the T-stats and Zinks) is that true I'm about to do my twin 300 AP's.

Well isn't that funny I just changed my oil in my 2020 Suzuki pulled out all the a nose check them clean them and reinstalled them just today I'm not sure if I'd worry about the fuel cooler until you know where it's at and only if you're really having issues like it's a hundred and ten degrees in the shade and your engine stopped running because under the cowling it's 250 degrees. But if you actually read the shop manual for everybody's engine and maybe even the owners manual that tells you to check stuff like this basically every 90 days of 3 months which seems a little excessive I do it every hundred hours and for me that's about every 2 to 3 months

Good stuff

YOU'RE WELCOME.

whoa....dissertation not needed! #1 this all means zero if you don't know any history. and you don't. build was from not running in a barrel after each us, but using the flush ports. Those flush ports don't do shit! Plus, as it turned out all my issues were fuel cooler was CLOGGED. Flush ports just pushed the dirt and salt into fuel cooler. You didn't even know I'm running a saltwater inshore charter boat? Do you know that its a pain in the ass to flush with the muffs on my 250 zuki, no. I has lower water pick ups. hence a barrel instead. you know how much saltaway BS I'd go thru in a year???? a few 55 gallon drums. Thats a willy weekender stuff.

Got all my software/cables/ service manuals on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DKVCC91/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it wasn't super EZ as you have to make sure your lap top is on the battery only why it matters I haven't a clue, and on a thing called "con one"....the key has to be on and the connector on my motor is on the front starboard side, by the rig tube inside, and it's a white/grey plug. Nothing fancy, thats for sure. Yep, just kinda dangling inside bottom cowling, part of wiring harness.

Wear out rubber gaskets?

you need a barrel and a few gallons of rydlyme 50/50 mix, and take out the t-stats and a pump, to do descaling correctly, I think.

no idea, this isn't for that.

, because it doesn't matter and I had it going into a bucket anyhow

a good flush every few years in sweetwater wouldn't hurt anything at all, but generally in freshwater NO.

if you run the St. Johns river in Jacksonville, Florida. Believe me. Your motor is full of...it!

@@CaptDavesSportfishing You don't mix it full strength. After you run it put some baking soda in the fresh water and that will stop any reactions. But, I understand.

Hey I also looked the Rydlyme and its Hydrocloric Acid at less than 10%. Muriatic and Hydrocloric Acid are basically the same thing. Both have the same amount and are both water soluble.

@@hawkeyemarine Maybe someday.....got plenty of Rydlyme.

Real simple don't use those flushers that are on the engine by a tub run it out in freshwater especially if you run the dirty st. Johns River in Jacksonville Florida buy a tub www.amazon.com/shop/captdavessportfishingcharters

I was recommended to rydlyme, so I tried it. One thing I hate doing is "home brewing" some concoction into a 20K motor that is my Livelihood. But good point.

I know that......my boat was built there

Number one it's going to drain so it's never going to hold any liquid in the engine what I'm doing is to descale and get rid of dirt salt nothing to do with winterizing I'd consult other outboard owners I know most people take off their lower unit and service it with water pumps a new gear lube over the winter other than that I don't know what they do in winter time up there

Many thanks! We have alot of river mid and silt. I will be following your descaling process as well!

I use a 70 gallon barrel full of freshwater. and Never ever use flush ports ever again! fixed!

@@CaptDavesSportfishing I really live that pump you’re using too !! I’m definitely going to get one ! I use the bilge pump because some places I don’t have power its more of a setup you could use anywhere. but that pump is definitely more Idle ! thanks for sharing ! sub !

WHAT I HAVE: amzn.to/2OX2S3W, and never use those crap flushing ports on the motor!! (especially in nasty dirt water or saltwater) Use a barrel ❗ It not only helps flushing ''correctly'', but washes off the drive shaft bearings. That can corrode if left setting up.

I had 8 weeks of radiation. No way surgery

replied to your email, know zero about water pressure, I deal in just temps and cleaning mud out of my motor, from the shit water i run.

Hi Kelly , do you still have problems with that water pressure ?

@@133air5 yes I am.

@@kellygunn6283 Hi Kelly , i'm not a mechanic or even a boat mechanic but have had my own good share of problems and fault finding on all motors . see if you can find out what the actual pressure is of your motor pump at different RPM's - see if the agent or manufacturer have any specs . these impellers are small and don't have much rpm or pressure for a start . if you buy say a 110 volt pump from the shop it will have a decent size impeller or diaphragm and very good rpm and can do volume . so if this was my outboard motor , i would remove both the thermostats first . I would go as far up/ to the top of the motor as possible and devise some sort of a plug or something that could spray the water out . So if the motor is in a drum and it picks up the water by itself , it should be able to pump it all the way to the top furthest part of the motor without any hindrance . now on this plug i would fit a outlet or something that i can fit a tube to and plug one of these Manometers in . i have one at home that is 1m long . this is a bit small but just an example . . . see this one www.ebay.com.au/i/322393752006? . you get special yellow water coloring for the tube but food coloring will work too . even build your own , its just a U tube on a piece of wood. Plug the manometer in on one side and see if the water moves in one direction . it should move as you must have water pressure . Say it blows all the water out the manometer then fit a balloon ( with some air ? ) to the other side of the manometer to give it some back pressure . Once you can get some reading out of it , you now have some sort of measurement . I would now check it at idle , 500 , 1000 and so on .dont over rev it stationary in the drum . the pressure should vary all the time . I would definitely want to see water flow even at idle . i would now start following the water temperature while the motor is running and i would expect the motor temp to be even all over the block and anywhere you suspect the water to flow . definitely all areas around the cylinder heads as the whole idea is for the water to do the cooling here . get a digital temperature probe at a aircon or electronic shop and see how hot the water gets . I would take the thermostats , put them in a thick glass jar , pour hot water over them to see at what temperature they open . I did it with my car thermostat , it was very accurate in opening and it even had the temperature stamped on the thermostat . . think it was 85 deg celsius . The outboard thermostats have to open at some temperature , and note this temperature down . Now i will replace only one thermostat and see if the pressure changes on the manometer . also keep an eye out to see if there are any temperature changes on the cylinder block and or water temperature . Now fit the second thermostat and do the same tests . once the thermostats are open you should have even flow and temperature anywhere on the motor . Also someone had a fuel problem where the fuel would boil into a vapour because the water heat exchanger was blocked and then it would not start . if you have something similar and this exchanger is inline then the water would not pass through and flow very slow or wont flow through at all . this would cause heating issues . That's all i can think of for now . just gather some data and that should show us where to go next . message me anytime and if you want to send some pictures or need more help. let me know how you go . regards André

Kelly I just seen a video saying to change the water pickups for the 250ss. My son has the same issue. New motor over heating around 5000 rpms. The part #s are 17631-98j00 and 17632-98j00.

YOU ARE NOT IN THE ST. JOHNS RIVER IN JAX. be happy....this wasn't for YOU, then.

YEAH I KNOW NOW.

a week?!

I do that method using zepp and it gets a lot out of your motor for about 20 bucks a gallon. It will foam up so use a tub.

This is the way. I used muriatic acid which is cheap. However, I diluted one galón muriatic with enough water that I could stick my hand in the solution and It wouldn't burn my skin. Ran the solution from 10 am to 2 pm. A lot came out. (Engines had 2000hrs approximately) in retrospect, next time will buy ryd Lyme or something for this purpose to save time and do it faster. I dropped a thermostat gasket in the solution and no harm was done to it that I could percieve.

I can't remember. 2 gallons in 30 gallons of water?

@@wazup3333 because the shit water I run in it will not flush out the motors "FUEL COOLER". You can run the motor on the flushing ports, ONLY in idle. Instead I use a 70 gallon barrel.

@@wazup3333 no a running motor with lots of clean water. if you run in crappy dirty water like I do. my fuel cooler clogged up on me by using the stupid flush ports for 4 years. caused me all kinds of trouble I have videos all about it on the playlist on my website that's about my boat

@@CaptDavesSportfishing got it thanks!

service manual states.....check, inspect, replace every 50 hrs. or 3 months. YES, I R-U-N MY $20,000.00 TO REPLACE (never spent that on my 3/4 ton diesel truck!!!!) BY RUNNING IN MY BARREL TILL UP TO TEMP (t-stats open at 122-125) AND CAN YOU IMAGINE, IF I DO MULTIPLE CHARTERS LIKE 4 IN A ROW, THATS 4 DAYS OF FILLING THE BARREL UP......TIME? yes, it takes more time. But, that ''fuel cooler'' on your zuki, to replace costs good money, and tie to replace, so does the anodes........PAY NOW, OR JUST PAY LATER!

@@CaptDavesSportfishing yes sir. That's how I took it. No worries , I hear outboard motors don't corrode up north. Immortal motors! 😜

me too and obviously you have never seen any of my other videos. I checked my anodes every oil change at 100 hours, along with my lower unit gear lube. but are you running in the St Johns River? I just got done descaling my motor last weekend. and will be doing the spark plugs this weekend. believe me I stay up with me and it's because that engine is my livelihood!

not really you can just clean it out with a water hose.

no, not running it on the built-in flusher. yes, when I didn't have a strong enough pump, and ran motor in my big barrel. Don't worry rydlyme isn't hurting any rubber or plastics, especially dillutted at 2 gallons in 40 gals of water. But, according to the company when I talked to them, even at that rate it'll do it's job, as seen in video. ''IF'' you watched it that far.

Rydlyme dissolves anodes, (as per instruction) so most likely you'd get more junk flowing thru the motor. I don't want to add more of anything but.... CLEAN. And the anodes aren't that hard to take out. Just need the correct items per the service manual. In my case the 10mm "jack bolts" used to pull them out.

did what you saw....ran mostly thru the flusher on motor. not running. t-stats and anodes out. I wouldn't do thru a set of muffs, and do not run motor! if so no wonder it got hot. t-stats need to be out and all anodes.

@@CaptDavesSportfishing Yes I had anodes out, but took the t stat out this time and used a submersible pump (25 gpm) to feed the flush port. It's only getting a trickle - it's barely weeping out of the tell tale, I see that you are getting a nice pee stream using a submersible. Yet when I dunk the boat at the ramp and run it I get a better stream but probably not as good as it should be. For some reason the submersible wont work as well as when dunking and using the intakes. My conclusion is that the internal water pump must be more efficient than the submersible and that I probably still have some blocked passages yet I flushed the Rydlyme for about an hour. I'm not sure what I should do from here.

@@ericbrockett3226 do exactly what I did. 25 ghp pump isnt diddly! I used a 1680 ghp.

They are now sourcing a larger flow rated pump for future sales, and he said he’s sending me the prototype pump free of charge once they finalize + they’re refunding me the money for my original kit. I spent a couple hours on FaceTime with them to work through pump curves/ flowrates they need, to get it correct.
