Baking soda?
« on: January 27, 2009, 04:50:28 AM »
 This probably sounds silly but if baking soda removes deposits off of a battery could it be used to flush an outboard?

Baking soda removes deposits from a battery because those deposits are acidic, forming from the acid fumes escaping from the battery. The baking soda is basic which neutralizes the deposits making them easy to remove.

I don't know about flushing your engine with baking soda. I don't really see any point to it. You flush your engine to remove the salt. Fresh water would work well enough for this.
