I bought a 96 Sea Rayder with the sportjet 120 back last June, I didn't get manuals or any other information with the boat, Can anyone tell me how to winterize this boat engine?

Re: winterize mercury sportjet 120

This is basically a Force 120 outboard motor on a jet drive. I believe there is no need to winterize, but I never looked into it cause I live in Houston. Perhaps someone else will chime in.<br /><br />Also, most Mercury Sport Jet questions are posted in the Mercury outboard forum. Might get a better answer there.<br /><br />Ken

What I meant to say is that there are no worries on freeze damage. The Sport Jet engines are self draining.<br /><br />But you still have to follow the normal outboard winterizing procedures (fogging) and also change the jet drive oil.<br /><br />Ken
