Hello All,
Looking for some advice on winterizing my 5.7 liter Merc motor and the pressurized on board water system ( New to me). In the past (Other Boats) I would start the engine with the muffs and water, let the motor warm up and then shut down. Replace the water with antifreeze and run about 5 gallons of antifreeze through the motor, shut the engine down and call it complete. The guy at the marina said I should fog, the engine as well? What does that include? Also, this boat has a port a potty head and a water holding tank, 2 sinks and a water pump, any advice on this as well? First year with the new boat...
Thanks,
Chet
