Hi all,
Anyone willing to help me walk through winterizing my inboard? I don't want someone to do it for me, I want to learn how to do it. I've read through lots of posts and info online, but still want to have someone experienced there with me just to make sure everything is covered. Willing to offer free beer, pizza, and a fishing trip or too (winter or summer). I intend to do all the work, just guidance and assistance here or there.
I live 5 mins outside Calgary, just off range road 284 and Country Hills BLVD. I have a 2001 Mercruise 4.3L carborated engine and alpha one drive. I have the onwers/service manual in PDF format. I've made myself a shopping list of things I need.
5 litres of 25W-40
Oil filter
Fuel Filter
2 L of gear oil
2-3 jugs of antifreeze
Fuel stabilizer
Fogging oil
Crankcase hand oil pump to get old oil out
Anything I'm missing?
Not sure when I'm ready to do this yet, I still have plans on going out a few times, maybe thinking in a couple of weeks.
