I'm trying to find the winterization procedure for my engine but am having a hard time finding the service manual online. My engine serial # is 1A058892. It is a 4.3L V6 with TKS carb and raw water cooling. Looking up the Mercury parts catalog there are several manuals, is # 8613281 the correct manual to get the winter storage procedure? Can someone send me those few pages? I have at least 4 petcocks to drain and want to make sure I don't miss a hidden one!
Also, I live in Michigan so the boat will freeze. With the petcocks confirmed drained, should I pour R-V anti-freeze in a top hose, ear muff it in, or just the engine dry?
Thank you in advanced,
Michael
