I winterized my first "True Inboard" today (I've done many I/O's) so I'm hoping
I did things correctly.

I removed 5 drain plugs:
1 from the back of each mainifold
1 from each side the block
1 from a hose connecting elbow below the waterump

I ran a wire up each drain hole to clear out any rust. I disconnect 3 hoses that
meet at the thermostat housing area and poured in some anti-freeze. The boat was
out of the water and owner didn't want to start it so I couldn't fog out the engine.

I did squirt some fogging oil down the carb and in each cylinder and cranked it
over. I also added stabil to the fuel.

Did I miss anything that will bite me in the Spring?

Thanks
Larry


I came across this. Maybe it will provide some more ideas.
