Due to some changes to where I willing be storing my boat this winter I will need to make some changes to how I winterize it. The boat ramp it's being hauled out at is about 1/4 mile from my mooring spot.
I am planning to change the oil while the boat is in the water. On the day of the haul I plan to winterize motors. I will have the fuel tank filled as I usually do and stabilize making sure that the treated fuel is run through the engines. At the ramp I plan to close seacocks and run antifreeze through engines. The part I was planning to skip this year was the Mercury cocktail of fuel, oil and stabilizer. Anyone have an opinion of how important this is?
My other though as to build a small tank with 2 lines that I could connect to engines. Use that to run the boat over to the ramp this fogging the engines. Anyone built this before?
anyone ever heard of a bypass fuel valve that allows for remote tank use with removing the main fuel line? My starboard engine fuel line is a PIA to remove as there is no slack and getting a wrench on it is also tough.
