will this boat motor flusher work on my Volvo Outdrive? Does it work well for running the engine while out of the water?

As long as the foot of the outdrive has water intakes like an outboard AND the flusher covers the intakes, it should work. I would definitely have the water on full pressure. It works to perfection on my 200 HP Evinrude. For the record, when my Volvo-Penta powered cruiser, with V-P Duoprop outdrive was kept in drystack, they flushed the engine through the outdrive every time it was taken from the water. You might also ask your local drystack marina about it.

I suspect it will work just fine, since you get cooling water from the out drive (like an outboard). Works great on my Merc outboard.

I doubt it. It is made for an outboard to feed the water pump while running out of water. This thing does NOT work anyway. Don't waste your money.

Usually used for smaller motors 9 -20 Hp if you have screw type fastener that clamp to the back of the boat it might work .

Gary, That is a good question. I know with large gasoline engines on boats that they are made specifically for marine applications. It might have to do with the corrosive nature of saltwater versus freshwater. I personally would be very hesitant to put that motor in saltwater, but it looks like E C Butler below has experience with saltwater uses.Best of luck!

I´ve installed it at the bottom, besides the outboard engine (I have an aluminium small boat used for fishing, with a 25 HP engine). It isn´t very good at 30-25 mph and above because of the bubles.

If you intend to cover the outboard motor along with the boat, I don't think it will work. I tried to use the same cover for my boat and motor and it was to short. I ordered a larger one and it works just fine. Because of the beam width, you will have an excess amount along the sides of the boat which can be snugged up.

I don't think this was designed for outside/boat conditions... they ask you to plug it into your cigarette lighter and place it on your dash... water would ruin it, hope this helps, Roosevelt C.

Yes, should work as long as you convert to 12 volt. Think the wires were a little over 2 foot long. Boat is in storage now. Note: When wiring pump pay close attention to + and - connections. Follow the directions because if hooked up wrong it will fry the auto switch.

No this (or any head gasket sealant) won't work on a marine engine. A marine outboard engine pulls water in, heats it up and discharges it. Head gasket sealants have to stay in the system in order to work.

Yes. If you want to use while motoring, Marcum also sells a high speed transducer that attaches to the transom of your boat. I purchased my unit in January and have not had a chance to use in open water...yet.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

I am sure it would. I bought it for an electric trolling motor because it is designed to be recharged frequently without harming the integrity of the battery. My Son and his girl friend used it on our canoe last weekend and went for some distance solely on the motor. No paddling. It will certainly turn over an outboard.

That pump is a pretty standard pump for all Johnson motors. To be sure just call a boat repair shop

Hi Edward, my husband drives the scooter down from the ramp and across the yard and it does just fine. Obviously if its wet out, it isn't as good, but I have tried it out and have driven around the yard with ours. We are extremely happy with it too. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.
