A. Volvo Penta Engine Flush Out
®
(Four Winns Installation)
Make sure that no section of flush hoses is
in contact with moving or hot engine parts
or abrasive surfaces such as screw threads,
sharp edges, etc., which could damage the
hoses. Damage to the hoses could cause leaks
and possible flooding of the engine compart-
ment. Periodically check hoses for abrasions.
Place small dishes of rodent poison such as
D-Con™ in a number of areas around the boat.
Be sure dishes are placed near the head and the
engines, as rodents will destroy upholstery, water
intake and discharge hoses.

5.
If the boat will be in outside storage, properly
support a storage cover and secure it over the
boat. DO NOT secure the cover tightly to the boat.
This does not allow adequate ventilation and can
lead to dry rot. DO NOT store the boat in a damp
storage enclosure. Excessive dampness can
cause electrical problems, corrosion, and dry rot.
NOTICE
The Four Winns installed flush out kit for Volvo
Penta® engines is identified by a transom
deck mounted coupler & cap. This type of flush
out may be used with the boat in or out of the
water and the engine OFF.
DO NOT use the bimini top or camper top as
a winter storage cover. The life of these covers
may be signifi cantly shortened if ex posed to
harsh weather elements for long periods.
Volvo Penta’s engine flush out is directly
attached to the engine itself and is identified
by a blue cap. If the engine comes with this
type of flush out kit installed from Volvo Penta,
follow the procedure included in the engine
operator’s manual only.
Placing an electric or fuel burning heating unit
in the bilge of the boat during cold weather
could cause fire or explosion and is not recom-
mended.
To flush out the engine with Four Winns installed
flush out kit, follow the instructions below:
NOTICE
1.
Do not run engine during flushing procedure.
Boats stored outside in areas with heavy snow
accumulation are more susceptible to damage,
and should be inspected regularly during the
winter months.
2.
Remove cap from coupling and attach water
supply hose.
3.
Turn water on and allow water to flush the engine
and exhaust manifold for about ten minutes.
6.
Engine should be winterized according to the
engine manufacturers manual.
4.
Turn water off. Disconnect hose; replace and
tighten cap securely.
R - 2 ENGINE FLUSH OUT
The optional engine flush out (if applicable) should
be used to clean the engine of unwanted salt, mud,
sludge, etc. which may have accumulated in the
engine cooling system. Before winterizing the engine,
flush out the system for about ten minutes.
Reinstall cap onto coupler after flushing for
both types of flush outs. The cap must be
secured after flushing of engine to prevent air
from entering the system and resulting in
possible engine damage.
