Hi. I am winterizing a Mercruiser 2001 MX6.2L MPI engine with Cool Fuel.
First time winterizing a fuel injected engine. Book says I need to turn off
fuel supply, take out water sep fuel filter, poor 2-cycle oil into it,
reinstall fuel filter, and run engine until it stops.

Need to turn off the fuel pump to do this as there is no shut-off valve (why
do boat builders never put fuel shut off valves in boats anymore). There is
no breaker for the fuel pump. Anybody know a trick to turn off or disable
the fuel pump to get the job done?

Unplug it if it's electrical.

it wont run with the fuel pump unplugged, no fuel pressure = no fuel =
no run.

Yeah - that's the question - how to turn off or disable the fuel pump.
That's what he asked.

Take care.
