what tools for winterizing/tips

[m_court15]

I am going to attempt to winterize my boat for the first time. I am not very mechanical, but I do have the shop manual for my engine.What tools am I going to need for winterizing, besides the basic wrenches. Also feel free to share any tips/ learning experiences you had from winterizing.

my engine is a i/o mercruiser 470. and a 1984 rinker v190

thanks,
Matt

Start with the winterization sticky at the top of this forum.

Then you need service manuals. See this thread.

You need manual #3 for you engine, #6 for your drive, if it is actually an 83 like your boat which isn't always the case.
