    Fuel Tank Sending Unit

    I have a lot of water in my gas tank that needs removal, by me. It seems removing the sending unit would be the easiest and most efficient way to go about it. Is there anything tricky or unusual I may run into when removing the sending unit? Any comments about water removal? Thanks all.

    Evinrude Ficht winterizing

    Question please. I have a 2001 175hp Ficht. Is there a way that I can winterize this motor myself instead of having it done at the marina? And how about de-carbonizing? Is that possible also and what equipment would I need? I've always done this myself with my carbureted engines but the...
