Winterizing myself?
The winterization process is not rocket science, but you do need to know
what you're doing in order to guarantee at a minimum that all water is evacuated from the engine (or diluted with antifreeze). Changing out some of the fluids is a pain in the butt sometimes also and better left to those with the proper tools and equipment. You can do it yourself or pay someone and the rub is when you do it yourself, you're on your own. If you pay them to do it and something weird happens, it becomes their problem, not yours as all winterizations from reputable dealers should include a 'guarantee' that it's done right and you don't have to worry about something freezing and breaking.+ Steve L. "werlax" wrote in message om... It seems that everyone knows someone who has wrecked an engine by improper winterizing. I was planning on just following the Mercruiser engine manual and their recommended procedure. Having mentioned that to a couple of friends, and their reaction, makes me wonder if there is something that I should be aware of? Is this all just a mystique perpetrated to get our money into the pockets of the marinas? Should I do some additional reading at a URL or should the manual be enough? For reference, the engine is a Mercruiser 4.3L I/O. Thanks for any help! |
