I have a Donzi Regazza with a 5.7 Mercruiser. I live in the Northeast and
the boat will be shrinkwrapped outside. I'm debating two things. Should I
leave the tank (Metal) full with gas and add stabil or should it be empty?
Also should I drain the engine from coolant (raw water cooled) or run the
"pink stuff" through it until it comes out? Thanks in advance. David


I would not completely fill it, but would leave some expansion room for
those first warm days in the spring. Don't ask why I'm giving you this
advice. I would add stabil. I've always put the pink stuff in. Never had a
problem.
