Default Ear caps for Kicker>

How do you guys flush out your kicker motors? Is there a special ear cap they sell for kickers?

Yes you have it,there are several styles and sizes of engine flusher cups,just identify which best fits your application.Then you can do your oil changes and simple maintenance at home.

I dont like those ear caps. I use a garbage can filled with rain water run off from my roof.

I use muffs or the boat ramp (if it's not busy).
Problem with a can is the water gets full of air bubbles.
What ever you do, don't run it to fast, on muffs or a
can.

Not all small motors take muffs e.g. my old 2002 Honda 8hp or my current kicker 1990 Merc 6hp. I had a 1986 Evinrude 15 hp that was flushed with muffs. Just check to see if your motor allows the use of muffs.
