All:<br /><br />89 VIP 302 Cobra.<br /><br />This is my first time winterizing-had guy do it last year. Great posts here on the listserve. <br /><br />Have done all the winterizations tasks up to the dreaded last one:<br />1. Changed the oil<br />2. Changed the outdrive oil<br />3. Cleaned the Flame Arrestor<br />4. Fogged the engine<br />5. Drained the mainfolds/block, PSterring Cooler, which was much easier than I thought<br />6. Put some antifreeze (RV Marine in the hoses),<br />7. Dreaded question:<br />Last year I had a guy remove the outdrive and lube the gimball etc. Is that something a medium/novice like myself can do, or should it be done by someone who knows what he/(she) is doing?<br /><br />-It looks sorta straightforward of removing the 6 bolts, but not sure how to remove the trim thingies.<br /><br />-Am more concerned about putting it back on<br /><br />-Also not sure what to do when I get it off.<br /><br />-Half thinking of waiting until spring and having the bellows replaced (probably 5+ years since done) as long as it will be opened.<br /><br />SUggestions would be appreciated.
