I have an 03 Chaparral with a 5.0L Merc (Fuel Injected). I would like to

that I did on my own for years.

Thanks in advance

In my opinion that's too new of a boat to learn on if you have never
winterized an I/O. If you screw up and leave some water in the block
you may regret it (assuming you are in a cold winter climate).

I would hire an experienced mechanic and watch everything that he does.
Next year you will be ready to do it yourself.

BTW, (to the group) Whatever happened to Skipper? Usually he is here at
this time of year promoting his bucket method of winterization.
