PREPPING I/O FOR SEASON???

[DELTA5]

Anyone have a quick checklist for prepping a mercrusier I/O for launching? It was professionally winterized!

Not a quick checklist but some things I'd do would be:<br />Drain the anti freeze<br /><br />Change the oil and filter<br /><br />add fresh gas<br /><br />Change the plugs (after I cranked it once with the old plugs in it...flush kit hooked up of course.... To burn off the fogging oil and not foul the new plugs)<br /><br />Let run on the flush kit for a few minutes to flush out the storage antifreeze<br /> ........Just my thoughts.....

Delta...if it was done well you need to do 2 things...hook up the negative battery cable and put in the drain plug....any thing above that is maintenance and should have been done in the fall.

I put my boat in last night for the first it was winterized.<br />I put the muffs on sprayed 1 small blast of stater fluid it turned over the first time ran it for 45 seconds to get the antifreeze out turned off the motor took it down the street to the lake drop it in started the boat then idled for 3 min then took off !!! just make sure you do your normal check before dropping in the lake.
