I guess  that the  screw in adapter would waste less water  if you covered the normal intake holes . Im on a tank/ roof supply  and have been down to a foot of water left , and the motor is fitted with a power trim so it dont fit in a drum  . Just look for a decent puddle on the way home LOL]]> Fri, 23 Aug 2024 08:48:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138745&PID=1839911&title=flushing-a-bf50d#1839911 <![CDATA[Flushing a BF50D : I flush my BF225 through the port....]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138745&PID=1839910&title=flushing-a-bf50d#1839910 Author: kimber7wsm

I flush my BF225 through the port. After a bit I noticed the warm is warm. I can only conclude that the engine, including thermostats are being flushed. Not flushing the impellor doesn't faze me. It's rubber. It also should be replaced regularly anyway.]]> Fri, 23 Aug 2024 07:05:54 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138745&PID=1839910&title=flushing-a-bf50d#1839910 <![CDATA[Flushing a BF50D : Well I reckon muffs are best because...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138745&PID=1839903&title=flushing-a-bf50d#1839903 Author: Mc Tool

Well I reckon muffs are best because they replicate the actual working cooling system , and you can get in line salt and/or scale removal concentrate dispensers .  ]]> Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:33:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138745&PID=1839903&title=flushing-a-bf50d#1839903 <![CDATA[Flushing a BF50D : The manual says use the flush...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138745&PID=1839889&title=flushing-a-bf50d#1839889 Author: kinger

The manual says use the flush port or a barrel.
It seems the flush port wouldn't rinse the impeller and tube like muffs do, also read that it bypasses the thermostats..
Is it okay to use muffs if I block the additional intake port?
The boat will be back in the lake within a few days of being in the sea, so it will get a good flush eventually if I go to the coast for the weekend.
