How To Properly Flush Yamaha Marine Engines. Specifically Jet Propulsion Boats. Yamaha 210 FSH Sport 

My pleasure, Thank you for watching 🤙🏼

That’s going to be a fun boat!!

How long did it took you to get it? I'm thinking of putting a deposit down today for the FSH195 S

I have, if you watch my newer video on flushing you will see I added that a while back. I appreciate the effort though 🤙🏼

This is usually caused by low water pressure from the hose. Try hooking up to a higher pressure spigot somewhere else to test.

Remember to still flush in fresh water too. Sediments and organisms in the water that sit can also cause issues after a while.

That is correct, the blow out is shown in the video just for that reason. Thanks for the comment. Never let water rest anywhere, not just the engines.

You bet!

2022 for August?! wow how long do you have to wait?

@@juanbolivar35 I'm talking about a 2022 model boat being received in Aug of 2021, which is starting to happen now - but is not going to happen for me anytime soon

There could be a few problems first being water pressure if you do not have enough water pressure from your hose It won’t come out the side next would be clogged ports sometimes the port gets clogged by insects and lastly, you could have an issue more major like engine issues the first thing I would start with the hose pressure and go from there.

That spare tire mount comes with the trailer stock from the factory for the FSH 210. The guide poles I did myself. Here’s the link amzn.to/4b2R58E

Glad you liked it!

This only applies to flushing. Do not start the boat before putting it in the water for launching. Start it after it is in the water. Otherwise you’d never be able to stop your boat if you think about it. Flushing forces water into the cooling system with or without the engine running. The water intake for the engines only forces water when the engines are running in the water. If you run the engines out of the water without using the flushing ports you will overheat them.

It does not

That means your water pressure is too low.

Thank you for the support. I am not sure from personal experience but I have heard that people dock them full time they just make sure to pull it out of the water and do a cleaning about once a week.

Yes, but unless you know your pressure is enough to support this then I highly suggest doing it by the book. There is a certain pressure range that needs to be supplied and a certain RPM you should keep to properly flush and cool the engines. I personally dont want to take that chance. Plus, doing each engine individually lets you hear how each one is running compared to the other. If they are both running problems are easily hidden by the other engine noise. Like I tell everyone else, do it by the book and do it right for longevity of life. When you cut corners you run the risk of prematurely damaging your boat. That goes for everything including washing and service.

You won’t get much out of these motors. They are the TR1s. Designed for efficiency not speed. I’ve seen people drop thousands and only get 4mph. Not worth it. The smart tabs got me 1-2mph top end.

@@THEFSHDUDE thx I will just leave it or just do an inexpensive ribbon delete

Honestly I’d have to hear it. Email me a video and I’ll see if I can hear what’s going on. thefshdude@gmail.com

Not in this video.

No, the bilge pump is for standing water in your hull. This is for flushing the internal components of your engine cooling system.

@@THEFSHDUDE got it. Thanks. The other day I flushed the engine s and steam was coming out and water dripping from the back was hot. Few days later I flushed them again and no steam whatsoever. Do you know why that could be?

@@ralphv.5026 that’s normal, the water is hot because it’s absorbed the engine heat. That’s how your motors are cooled. Sometimes it steams sometimes it doesn’t .

I hope you didn’t get water in the engine and if you did you could possibly have damaged internals. Pull spark plugs and turn the motor over to see if water sprays out. Also check your oil and see if it is “milky” Hope everything is ok 🤞🏼

Over 40 miles off shore

Thanks.

That’s an issue, you may not have enough water pressure or high enough rpms?

It's not an issue; if the boat is not level and you have low water pressure, such as a well, it won't piss. As long as it is pissing during in-water operation is critical. Mine does the same because I am on well water, and my boat sits on a lift, not level.

Yeah, that’s the only option they offer. If you know of a different site please let me know and Thank you for your support 🙏🏼

Lol obviously, I was shooting a video by myself and doing the procedures all at the same time. If you pay attention the engines did not overheat.
