- Using the Captain’s Musket:
- Attach the Captain’s Musket to your garden hose.
- Fill the Musket’s reservoir with Salt Wash.
- Spray the solution evenly over the boat’s exterior, starting from the top and working your way down.
- Allow the solution to sit briefly to break down salt and grime.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water, ensuring all residue is removed.
Outboard Engine Flush Application:
- Preparation: Ensure your outboard engine is in a vertical position and the engine is cool.
- Using the Captain’s Musket:
- Fill the Captain’s Musket reservoir with the Engine Flush solution.
- Attach the Captain’s Musket to the flushing port on the outboard engine (located near the lower unit) or use muffs if your engine has them.
- Turn on the water source by moving the Captain’s Musket crank handle to the middle setting (water only) before starting the engine.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Switch the Captain’s Musket crank handle to forward to activate the flush solution. Do not rev the engine during this process.
- Follow your manufacturer's recommended flush time and allow the engine to run for 5-10 minutes to fully flush out salt, dirt, and other debris.
- Turn off the engine before turning off the water.
- Disconnect the Musket and inspect the engine for water droplets or salt deposits. For added protection, wipe it down with a clean cloth.
- Personal Watercraft (PWC) Flush Application:
- Preparation: Ensure your PWC is on a trailer or lift with the engine turned off.
- Using the Captain’s Musket:
- Fill the foam gun’s reservoir with the Engine Flush solution.
- Locate the flush port on your PWC (usually found at the rear or side of the craft).
- Attach the garden hose securely to the flush port.
- Start the PWC engine before turning on the water source.
- Move the Captain’s Musket crank handle forward to the soap mix setting, allowing the flush solution to circulate through the cooling system for 2-3 minutes. Do not exceed this time, as PWC engines should not run for extended periods without being in the water (check your manufacturer’s recommended flush times).

- Detach the hose and flush the kit, draining excess water from the cooling system.
- Wipe down the exterior of the PWC with a clean towel to remove any remaining water spots or salt residue.
