I did a search and couldn't find the answers to my questions. Sorry if they've already been discussed.
I used my boat probably around 5 hours this season (10 max). Most of my time was spent cruising to a spot on the water 10 minutes from the dock, sitting there for hours, and then driving back to the dock. The oils in my engine and outdrive both look brand new with no water in them. Is it really necessary to change them since they look brand new still?
I paid a mechanic to winterize my boat last year and he used a bucket filled with antifreeze connected to the muffs to put antifreeze in the block (after draining it of all the water). I've also read about pouring it in manually after draining it. What hoses do you pour the antifreeze in? Is there a right or wrong sequence in which way you fill the hoses up?
Sorry if the second question has been debated/ and or asked multiple times. I'm just unsure about leaving it dry through the winter. It's stored outside through a brutal NJ winter.
