Just got my boat winterized yesterday. I had drained the block earlier, but didn't have any fuel stabilizer in it. So I had to put the plugs back in and used my garden hose adapter to run the boat and get the stabilizer into the carb.Then drained everything again. Not to sure how my nieghbors liked the boat running at 9:00 saturday morning, its pretty loud when its not in water!!

That's something we will be doing ourselves next year. Decided to get the dealer to do it this year to make sure everything was running right and man was that pricey! I did a bunch of research online and it doesn't look too hard to do. Got any tips or tricks Marlon? Mine is an inboard 5.0L MPI MerCruiser.

just change your leg oil, put anything in there for the winter, then fill it up with fresh fuel and run stabilizer through it... pretty simple really...

With my boat you actually have to take something off of the top of the cooling system and let the antifreeze crap run down, otherwise they say that it could stay in the system.

I loved my old 40 horse johnson to winterize, fuel stabilizer, change the leg oil and that was it!
