Author	Topic:   Winterizing the motor
BKANE	posted 10-26-2003 05:32 PM ET (US)         Well as much as I fight it the reality is winter is upon us here in Maine (maybe 1-2 trips). I am looking for advise on winterizing the motor. Last year I fogged the carbs and stabilized the gas and all turned out ok. I was lloking at a local dealer and all the boats put up had the lower units taken off. Is that somthing that I should do (with help) or am I all set? any other ideas would be very welcome. thanks Brendan

Stabilize the fuel and fog the engine as you did last year. After you have done this think about a short winter and an early spring. Dick
