Product Description
9xMarine is proud to offer Black Cobra ( from 1986 to the mid 90's) owners a direct garden hose water flush adapter for modern Cobra stern drives with a standard water pump. All OMC White Stringer systems (from 1964-1985) has a water-flush adapter for decades already. This adapter is used on the drydock. Simply remove the impeller and bolt our panel to the same area. Attach a water hose to the valve, and you don't have to run to the main shutoff valve. It is an excellent tool for troubleshooting your engine when it needs to run and cool. Many mechanics prefer not to use sterndrive lower suction cups (headphone style) because the water pressure relies on a properly functioning impeller. Our flush panel is designed to block the water inlet opening and reuse water outlets into the direct engine cooling line.
Benefits:
-
Easy hose connection with a shutoff valve for feeding the motor cooling water.
-
Each panel features a permanent rubber installation gasket, stainless steel washers, and bolts.
-
Durable and will work for years to come.
-
A must-have when working with Cobra sterndrives.
-
Perfect for winterizing on the drydock. Simply connect this adapter to a large holding tank positioned above the engine, open the valve, and start your engine.
-
Our adapter eliminates the need to install an expensive Perko Flush Pro. Both Perko Flush Pro and the 9xMarine adapter require the removal of the impeller to winterize your engine on the drydock. FlushPro should be used if your boat is in the water.
Cobra Water Pump Information Tip: Your impeller is very simple, and its operation is self-explanatory. However, your water pressure and cooling greatly depend on your sterndrive's internal copper water crossover from the lower to the upper section, from the water accumulation tank and its gaskets. The water accumulation tank and its copper crossover pipe are exposed to the hot exhaust gasses. If the water accumulation gasket or copper pipe is compromised, your impeller will be filled with half water and half exhaust gas. In both instances, your rubber impeller will quickly succumb to meltdown and destruction, causing your engine to overheat.
