Winterize your moter now !!! - lonehunter - 11-04-2007
That boat moter has seen you thru a lot of fishing , It's time to give it a much needed rest if it's like mine .
Winter storage can kill a moter, a long slow horrible death .
Empty that lower end of all the contaminated grease , use an aircompressor to blow out anything left over , refill with fresh lube and seal .
Run the gas out and fog that engine , this will help prevent any surface rust from ruining the cylinders and varnish from clogging the carb. turn that moter over a couple times to make shure no water is left in or around the impellor or the water pump .
sta-bull your gas tank . Put your old buddy in the garage in a relativle warm spot where he can rest untill next spring .
these tips should help in having a easy start up next spring .
