Location: Stevens Point, WI | I agree with Andy. If your going to do the plugs, have a mechanic do it, unless your certain you can do it. I have not pulled plugs on any of my Opti's in the past. I simply drain the water out of the fuel filter, fill the tank with gas, run Mercury Quickleen through it the last trip or two out and then put fuel stabilizer in it. I also run Premium gas all year, guarantees me to Ethanol either.
Lastly, wherever the boat sits for the winter, make sure you put the motor down vertically so any water that might be in there, will flow down and out. Then I unhook my starting battery and pull it out.
That's what I do to winterize my motor. You could also change the lower unit oil, but that depends on how much use you put on the motor. |
