I am looking to winterize and fog out my inboard 350 magnum fuel injected Mercruiser. My question is, will the water pick up at the bottom of the bilge draw in antifreeze with the external seacock closed? Also do I spray the fogging solution into the uncovered flame arrestor? Any advice or tips...

just purchased a boat with Garmin 740s there is no chip in unit could this be the power issue? it does not turn on/ is there a way to locate power source in plug- there are many terminals I would like to isolate positive and negative to see if it is getting power-any advice would be...
The oil pressure gauge is pegged to 80 however my mechanic claims it is running at a normal pressure based on his scanner-when I put the key to the on position the needle jumps to 25 before engine starts could this be an indication of a faulty gauge.Regards Billy

Yamaha.Also are there any helpful hints to make the job easier and successful? Thank you Andy PS thank you to the helpful members on this site it made the diagnosis much easier.
I am attempting to determine if my trim motor is bad.The strategy I have is to pull and jump the main green and blue wires directly from the trim motor and go to a separate battery source[going to the positive terminal] leaving all other wires in place.Would that be a viable way of testing the...
