fuel removal

[skeeter louie]

I did not get a chance to properly winterize my boat. My question is the fuel I have in my tank do I need to drain out and fill with fresh fuel to avoid water intake into the engine. Before heading out in a couple months. Also do I need to do anything to the carbs also

Naw,.. the fuel will be Ok over a few months,... Hopefully the carbs will survive as well,...

Re: fuel removal

If you cannot properly winterize the boat at this time, at least put some fuel stabilizer in the fuel now. The bigger problem may be the fuel evaporating in the carbs and gumming them up. There are lots of links, like this one on iboats, to winterizing your boat. Do a google and youtube search as well, and you'll find a bunch of videos.
