A lightweight, garden hose-compatible foam gun with multiple uses.

About this product

The Captain’s Musket is your all-in-one vehicle and marine vessel maintenance solution, offering power and precision in a single tool. Designed to be user-friendly, it easily attaches to any standard garden hose, transforming your regular hose into a powerful cleaning tool. The Captain’s Musket features two interchangeable spray nozzles: one that creates thick, clinging foam for deep cleaning and another that provides a jet or mist spray for effective rinsing. This versatility makes it perfect for tackling all aspects of your vehicle's or marine vessel's exterior care, from washing off mud and grime to rinsing away soap for a spotless finish.

Key Features:

  • Dual Nozzle Design: Includes a foaming nozzle for applying thick foam and a jet/mist nozzle for rinsing.
  • Easy to Use: Attaches to any standard garden hose; no special equipment required.
  • Versatile Application: Perfect for deep cleaning vehicles, flushing outboard/PWC engines, and even attaching a telescopic foam brush for scrubbing.
  • Efficient Cleaning: The foam nozzle covers large areas quickly with dense foam, making washing faster and more effective.

Durable Construction: Built to withstand regular use, ensuring long-lasting performance.

How to use it

For Exterior Cleaning:

Preparation:

  • Ensure your vehicle or vessel is out of the water and parked on a stable shaded surface.
  • Attach a garden hose to the Captain’s Musket (Foam & Flush Gun).

Load the Desired Detergent:

  • Unscrew the reservoir on the Musket.
  • Fill the reservoir with the Detergent.
  • Screw the reservoir back onto the Musket.

Adjust the Musket Settings:

  • Set the crank handle on the Musket to the "Foam" setting. This mixes water with the Detergent for a foamy application.

Apply the Foam:

  • Start spraying the foam onto your vehicle working from top to bottom.
  • Let the foam sit for 2-3 minutes to loosen up dirt, salt, and grime.

Scrub and Rinse:

  • Use a soft brush or microfiber hand mit to gently scrub the surfaces, focusing on areas with heavy buildup.
  • Switch the Musket to the “Rinse” setting (water only) and rinse off the foam completely.

  • Ensure the outboard engine is in a vertical position.
  • Connect the garden hose to the Captain’s Musket.

Fill the Musket with Engine Flush Solution:

  • Unscrew the Musket’s reservoir.
  • Fill the reservoir with the Engine Flush Solution.

Start Flushing:

  • Turn the Musket crank handle to the middle "Water Only" setting.
  • Start the engine and let it idle. Do not rev the engine.
  • Shift the crank handle to the "Flush Solution" setting to start running the Engine Flush Solution through the engine.
  • Let it run for 5-10 minutes (or as per your manufacturer’s guidelines) to clear out salt and debris.
  1. Shut Down:
  • Turn off the engine before shutting off the water.
  • Disconnect the Musket from the flush port and wipe down the engine to remove any leftover water.

Personal Watercraft (PWC):

Preparation:

  • Ensure your PWC is securely on a trailer or lift and out of the water.
  • Connect the garden hose to the Captain’s Musket.

  1. Shut Down:
  • Turn off the water first, then stop the engine.
  • Detach the hose and flush kit, ensuring all excess water is drained from the system.

Final Steps:

  • Protect Metal Parts: Use an anti-rust spray to protect your engine and metal components from corrosion.
