SNOW?? Already?

[Mr.Havasu]

So what do you need to do to winterize?
My kids just bought a house near dans66stevens on lake cayuga, NY. We just gave them a boat with an outboard 125 Evenrude. Do they need to do anything special to it before they put it away for the winter.
Hear in Havasu we just boat all year so there is no need to winterize.

With an outboard its pretty simple...run the motor with fuel stabilizer in the tank...fog down the motor...the water drains out automatically when on the trailer so no chance of "block cracking"...and you could drain and put in fresh oil for the lower unit.
Is this a 2 stroke engine?

[Mr.Havasu]

I'm not sure, I know you have to mix the oil with the gas,

[DansBlown73Nordic]

Warlock, they have a very nice place up there.
The gas addative is pretty important. Im not sure if this true everywhere but the gas around here goes bad fast.

[DansBlown73Nordic]

Gas left behind will turn to this green slime. yuk Then come spring the carbs will be plugged.

[Mr.Havasu]

Thanks guys, I'll send them this info so they can protect their little boat for next year.

You guys are making me feel guilty. We are going to Havasu on Friday and the temp is around 100 with water temp 80 degrees.

For me winter's getting harder and harder to deal with. yuk
