That's what I want, just an ON/OFF switch. i;m assuming it won't matter what kind of On/Off switch I get their all the same.
Horsepower of my engine? That would be 120HP inboard Mercruiser.
Hello everyone. So I'm looking to get and install an on/off battery switch for my boat, since everytime I go to use the boat I have to manually connect and disconnect the wiring so it wouldn't drain if something was to be left on. I've watched plenty of How To videos and im still confused. It's...
Got it appreciate the advice and help! Seems like draining the block is better than leaving it full with even antifreeze. What kind of -100 antifreeze do you use? Majority of what I'm finding online are all rated -50.
Fair enough, okay then I will probably consider doing it that way, with the plugs out. If i do do it that way Im assuming any antifreeze would work since Im still going to drain it out of the engine?
If Im not wrong I only have 2 drain plugs(87 4 cylinder merc 120 inboard).
Yeah I always run my boat in fresh water. Do you do that procedure? Leaving the drain plugs out over winter?
If I do drain the antifreeze out of the block wouldnt there be moisture buildup or would it just evaporate or escape through the opening of the drain holes?
Just want to do it right...
Got it so it doesnt really matter which antifreeze I use? I could just drain the block but I want to be extra sure that there wont be any water in there that could freeze. My boat is around 35 years old but the motor runs like its new. Don't want to risk ruining a good motor...
So would it be...
I live in Ontario, Canada, where temperatures can drop as low as maybe -25°C on the coldest days. I've watched several videos where people winterize their engines by first warming them up and then draining all the water. To ensure no water is left behind, they use an air compressor to blow out...
So bought antifreeze to winterize my boat this year. It's the winterproof all purpose -50 pink antifreeze. As I was reading in the side label of it it said that it's OK to use it for boats... a few lines away it stated "This product is not designed as a heat transfer fluid for closed loop...
Rotella makes marine oils? Or are all of those brands for cars? Found Rotella 15w-40 T5 oil. Would that work for a 87 I/O 120hp merc motor?
Found this...
Sounds good Ill go with the 25W-40 that I found online. Rated for inboards and outboards.
Would any harm be done if I run regular full synthetic car oil in my inboard? Or are they different oils?
So... looking to change my boat engine oil this year before winterizing it. What oil should I use? I have a 4 cylinder 2.5, 120hp merc inboard/outboard engine. Its an 87. It has an oil cap on it saying 10W-30. I looked online to see what comes up, I found few online a Quicksilver to be specific...
So I have a few spare main jets for my carburator for 120 Merc. Right now I have #70.9 jets in carb. Tried to look online to see what the factory jet is for the engine carb and can't seem to find it. Figured i'd try and get advice/help here. What is the factory main jet sizes for the Merc 120...
