    Winterizng 225 Ficht Rude Ram.

    Getting ready to winterize my Ficht Rude Ram. Does anyone know where I can find an owner's manual for this motor or any special tips? Thanks

    How long can a guy run this motor with a motor flusher? Being as this is my first Ficht I'm not sure how it will act and am going to winterize the boat this week but won't have time to get to the lake to run it for 10-15 minutes.

    You can run it as long as is needed at idle to complete the winterizing on the muffs. If you are talking about the hose hookup on the back of the motor it is for flushing only, do not run the motor with water hooked up to it.
