The Flushmaster is powered by three standard AA batteries, which are not included in the kit. It is recommended to have a fresh set of high-quality alkaline AA batteries on hand for optimal and consistent operation.
Is the initial cost of this automated system justified?
While the initial investment exceeds that of basic manual flush kits, the significant time savings, convenience of automation, and enhanced protection for valuable outboard engines offer a compelling return. The system's robust features, like IP67 waterproofing and sequential flushing, contribute to long-term engine health and performance, making it a worthwhile investment for serious boaters.
