I was just wondering what the plug on the top side of the leg with the word "Flush" is for?
Thanks,
Mike

Flushing with a hose, motor OFF.

Thanks Jeff. Another question, how do you remve/replace the propellor shaft seal? I see oil leaking around the backside of my prop.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Are you sure it's lower oil, or oil coming down from the power head?

Hmmm. Actually I have no idea where the oil is coming from, I just assumed it was from the leg.
