Location: Wausau | Wondering if I plan to run my 150 Yamaha 4 stroke to the end of the season, do I need to do any precautionary steps (I already have added Sta-bil). I currently have it stored outside. I plan on having winterized at the end of the season and stored in-doors.
Anyone in the Wausau area very familiar with winterizing who would be willing to teach me the process for a few extra bucks?
Thank you in advance for all replys. |

It's better to be running water through a hook up so your water pump is lubed while you turn the motor over, even alittle. Stabil in the gas, and you are set. |

Location: Eau Claire, WI | Just make sure after each use that you tilt the motor in the fully lowered postion for a few minutes at the boat launch giving it time to allow the water to drain from the motor. I usually do this while I finish tieing down the boat and taking my heavy clothes off. Other than that, follow the instructions Steve suggested above. |

| Do not run it out of gas, hard on the electric fuel pump. |

| Any one have any idea how to get the 4th plug out on a Merc 60hp efi? I got the other 3 out but i cant reach the 4th in order to squirt some fogging oil in there. |
