I'd better clarify.... sorry for another post. The flusher is the metal
plate type flusher TEM380010 (although I'd check the part number to make
sure it's a plate type flusher as I've seen this P/N other places on
the web as a muff-type flusher).

the way it's used is it's place *underneath* the cavitation plate. There's
neoprene on the opposite side. The hose tube/fitting tails off the exhaust
snout that is on the bottom of the cavitation plate so the hose
is directed away from the prop. The two metal brackets are secured to
the plate flusher and have carriage bolts on them and wingnuts on the
opposite end. The plate is pressed against the water intake screen
on the bottom of the cavitaion plate and located against the exhaust
snout. The two metal "arms" are swung abound and clamped on the *top*
of the cavitation plate, securing it.

if you run it in a tank, don't run it too long as the water
will get hot and over heat the engine unless you let a
garden hose run while you are testing it.

I know what you need; The muffs will not work. I have one for my 25hp '82
Johnson. It "wraps" around the pick up above and behind the prop. I havent
seen one in years but try West Marine, Boat US or some "Old" boat shop. Or,
you must use the bucket approach.

How do I work on an old 62 Johnson, out of a body of water? I know that
for my evinrude I've used a huge garbage can, but I was wondering if
there was something like you can use on newer lower units (of IO's, for
example).

It looks like the water intake is above the prop, and I don't think the
same thing would work for both. Is there something easy to use?

I can make this make more sense if needed.

Are you looking for something like this?

will those work for the something this old? I thought the water intake
was in a place that the "flushers" would be able to work.

Depends on which engine?
If it's the Super Seahorse 75 or similar type B lower unit. There was a
special flush adapter made, that secures to the cavitation plate. Not
sure where you might find one today. Might try some old time outboard
mechanics or maybe E-Bay. I still need mine to work on the 62 Gale.

It is a super seahorse.

I think I am going to just use a bucket, and have water running in it.
Thanks all for the help and advice.
