    Flushing outboard engine

    While in your your saltwater slip, do you flush your engine tilted down in the water or up out of the water? All videos I see have the boat on a lift or trailer. I have muffs and a port flush connector? What's best while at the dock? It's a 2003 honda 200hp engine.

    There is fuel in the tank now. I dont know how much since the gas Guage doesn't work anymore. I put water in the bilge and collected the water that came out to see if I could smell any gas in it and didn't smell anything in the water. So if it's cracked it has to be above where the gas tank...

    Thank you for the replies. I will have to do some more investigating today. I really hope it's not a cracked tank. It's sounds like it would be a nightmare getting it out.
