Hey, so a couple questions, I just bought this and I'm going to keep it on a lift. Is it a good idea to just put the lift up and leave water in it? or to flush it each time?

Any advice on cleanout ports?

Is it in fresh water or salt water?

Fresh water.

I keep mine on a lift in fresh water and I don't flush the engines. I will probably flush them this fall when I pull the boat out of the water before I winterize it. As for the clean out plugs. I leave them in during the season and only pull them when I need to check the impeller shafts. I grease the seals well with plumbers grease and they haven't gotten stuck since I started doing that.

Our engines self drain, so you aren't leaving water in it. Flushing is really for salt water use only-unless you have a concern that you've sucked something up or are boating in a river and running mud through (see below)!

Awesome! Also what gas do you recommend using in these 2 strokes? Thanks. I just picked it up for 6k.

hard to remember the 210's had two strokes in 2005, the 230's had the mr1 4 strokes,

be sure to check your oil lines if you're not on pre-mix, the lines have a history of falling off and you quickly burn up an engine,

Yeah I intend on monitoring them the rest of this season and buying new lines in the spring. I was going to run 91 non eth.
