Should the outboard drive unit be stored in the UP or DOWN position?
Solved Leak problem. The main leaks were around the Exhaust ports on sides of Hull.
Phil Dill charged $$$$$$$$$$ 300.00 !!!!!!!!!! for winterization!
Is that NORMAL
!
Thanks!

I store mine up with the guards on the hydraulic rams. They help hold it up incase the hydraulics bleed off in storage. I keep mine inside a polebarn in the winter so sometimes it gets moved around some if they have to get a motorhome out or what not. Nick |

Yep that is what they charge, with the freeze coming thursday morning, you had better hurry. PD is high $$ for sure. of course it is not that hard to do it yourself, I don't worry about fogging and all that (this is texas - freezing one day 70, the next), just get the water out of the system. Flush, pull the drain plugs (4), depending on model (check you owners manual) you may have a water line on the fuel filter. disco the hoses to water pump and impeller. crank over two turns. make sure the lower unit emptys (down) or pull the drain plug if you have a model that has it on lower, and it should be at least able to survive the freeze. With Texas weather, I hate doing a full winterize, heck I maybe out the following weekend, cruising or fishing when it hits 70. Key is get the water out... no h2o, no problems. Hope this helps. What part of DFW are you, I can help you if needed. |

Your drive should be kept lowered in storage. This is easier on your bellows and will keep it from possibly taking a "set." Unlikely, I know - but that's the conventional wisdom. |
