Abstract
A flushing system for an inboard and an inboard/outboard marine engine is inserted into the flow path normally used for conducting ambient water to the engine for cooling purposes. A first attachment means allows ambient fluid to flow into the system and a second attachment means allows for ambient fluid to flow out of the system. A first extension means connects the upstream ambient fluid to the flushing system inlet and a second extension means connects the flushing system outlet to the downstream ambient fluid allowing the flushing system to be located some distance from the insertion point.
