I own a 70 horse Nissan outboard. Should I winterized it , or have it done? What's involved?
I pulled the plugs on my 4.3l yesterday... Sad day! Still plan on getting out on the water, but won't be at the cabin for 2 weeks and don't want to get caught with my pants down and a 1 night cold snap.
Anyway, don't flush it with antifreeze... Flushing with freshwater won't hurt. Also, change, or at least check the lower unit oil. If there is any sign of milkiness, change it. Other than that, don't worry about it.
Never heard aabouttaking off tthe prop, (I'm new to this) what's the purpose?
Me too.....I'm a bad example, I just turn off the key or hit the stop button, end of winterizing. Taking it out winter storage is turning the key the other way and motoring off.
What's winterizing? :noidea::lol:
