Abstract
An improved device for flushing and conditioning the cooling system of a marine outboard motor which has a reservoir, containing anti-corrosive fluid, and which communicates with a delivery system. The delivery system is a T-shaped member, having a lower pipe member communicating with an upper member that is threadedly connected to the reservoir. The lower pipe member is connected at either end to two lengths of garden hose, one of which is connected to a source of fresh water, and the other of which is attached to the flushing intake of an outboard motor. A valve disposed on the upper pipe member provides a means to selectively control the inflow of anti-corrosive material from the reservoir into the delivery system.
