Flush Mate™ Outboard Flush Bags

Made from rip-stop fabric with all seams welded to make this bag waterproof.

Flush Mate™ outboard motor flush bags are for use on most outboard motors with standard legs (no extra’s added like fins). Please check your motor size as the motor hp below is only an indication.

Place the flush bag CAREFULLY under the skeg & then attach the “guide strap” which goes over the top of the cowling. Fill with water to cover over water intakes, start your motor and it will flush out salt. Obviously, you cannot put the motor into gear as the prop will cut the bag! You should never allow the “guide strap” to take the weight of the water as it could damage your cowling/outboard due to the weight of the water:- 1 gallon of water = 8.3 Pounds (roughly). Once flushing is complete undo the drain plug in the flush bag to empty the water out.

Why not Vinyl?

People also ask what is wrong with using vinyl or a padded vinyl won’t that stop the noise more and offer more protection?

Yes it MAY but as it is not breathable it will cause moisture to build up under both the cowl and cover. This will corrode the motor and damage the paint and decals.

Most people are not aware that a replacement cowl is extremely expensive and if new decals are required these are usually extra and can cost as much as one of our Splash covers.

This is typically what would happen if you made your outboard cover out of a material that does not have breathability such as vinyl or even neoprene which is used on wet suits. They do not have what Polysoft® has!

Latest Testimonial

Completely brilliant cover!

With the sort of abuse we give our outboard (we use it for watersports, so the kids regularly clunk the engine cover with wakeboards and skis) one season later it should look like it’s from a 3rd world country – but instead it genuinely looks as good as new, still fits like the proverbial glove – and despite months of Med sunshine the colour hasn’t faded one bit – can’t recommend it highly enough – if only you guys did covers for the Mothership…
