Winterizing 4stoke Outboards

[BillM]

What I've been doing with my 305ci I/O is in the spring,,I turn the motor over a few times with the coil wire off.Hope it gets the oil up?.Other wise a couple cranks and she fires up.So far so good.My problem last year was the water in the tank.Hoping that was a one time thing.

 

Yup, that will build oil pressure.

after several incidents with My E Tec ..I could not get rid of that junk fast enough..Kiss your mechanic goodbye..Ya ...I've never spent so much time at a marina.....we have them on our work boats ..Trim unit caught on fire..Sensor went 22 miles off shore motor stayed in S.L.O.W position ..wanna have a look under the bench in cardboard boxs at the Etec powerheads blown up...No thanks ..self winterizing really,,it revs up for 30 seconds smokes a lil then shuts off..good luck with that ..

nothing blows up quicker than an E Tec. (although Merc's are close)

 

the best was the silly late night E Tec infomercials.
