Som engines cannot use earmufflers. They have the intakes upwards under the cavitation plate. But there might be a screw among the oilplugs for the underwarer housing kalled "Flush" on smaler engines it might be for a 1\4" coupling for waterhose cooling.
@@kjellrogerjgensen60 The Mercury engines you're referring to that have the intake in the cavitation plate are the smaller tiller and kicker engines. Some of those have the intake on the side of the lower unit as well as in the cavitation plate. Of course older Mercury engines and other manufacturers can be different. In this I am referring to newer 4 stroke 40, 50, and 60 HP Mercury engines. Also the larger Mercury engines can need a nose cone cover as well as the ear muffs. With that being said the overall concept applies to any engine, meaning, if the cooling system is stopped up then it needs cleared.
Thanks. This rates as one of the most helpful boating videos on RUclips.
@@Jon_boat_adventures Thanks, I appreciate that!!!!!
Thanks for the easy to understand video! Great information
@@Tom-b3l9n you're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Like you said great information to have regardless of what engine you own 👍🏻
@@lutherprince9304 yes sir. Thanks for watching!

Very good information thanks
@@claudemeek3819 you're welcome. I thought the same thing when I learned it!
Thanks for the info!
@@jameslawrence3669 you're welcome. It was a blessing for me when I learned it!
Good video, handy information - Thanks
Thanks! I was sure happy to learn this!
That was interesting ! Can you put your finger in the thermostat hole to make sure bigger pieces aren’t stuck or will they just flush ?
