- 4.3L MPI Non-ECT Mercury MerCruiser
Hello again everyone. As mentioned in my previous posts, my parents own a 2016 19SPX with an inboard Mercury MerCruiser 4.3L motor. My dad is still working out of state and it’s time for winterization, but I’m not sure exactly what I should do.
I did my best to navigate my way through YouTube, this forum, and other posts online, but there’s so many different things being done that I’m not sure what I should vs. shouldn’t do. So my question is simply what should be done to ensure my parents’ boat stays in perfect condition? Also, can I do it myself or are there some essential things that I won’t be able to teach myself?
Note: I do have a family friend who works on boats on standby should I need him, but the deal was that if I used it this summer I would pay for minor maintenance, gas, and winterization. With college in full swing I’d like to save my money if at all possible; I don’t know much about boats but I did de-winterize it myself and am pretty good with quick learning via tutorials/videos. Thanks for the help!
