  • Winterization

    Hello all,
    Going to do my first winterization this fall and would like your expert advice. 1. What is the best process for winterizing? I plan on greasing, changing lower unit oil, stabilizer. Anything else? My dealer said that foggin a four stroke clogs the injectors, should I still do it?
    2.I have two motors, a 115 four-stroke and a T9 kicker. Is there any differences in handling winterization on the two?
    3. Anybody have a link or a detailed process on changing the oil on a four stroke? I do not know engines but still would like to do it myself. Pictures would help.
    Whew, that is alot to ask for my first post but I hope you have the answers to my questions. Thank you in advance.

    roy,
    If it were me, I would get the owners manual for each of those outboards - www.yamahapubs.com .
    I would follow procedure in the manual for storage.
    When you add fuel stabilizer to the tank, run the motor long enough to get the additive all the way thru the fuel system - make sure the stabilizer is mixed well with all the fuel in the tank .
    I would think fogging would be important regardless of 2 or 4 stroke.
    Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] ,
