tilt it all the way down and it drains, remove the flush device and drain that line.
but there is a LOT more to storing that engine than worrying about water.

Re: Winterising my F75 yamaha

yep
ya left out the part where you RAN the motor off the stabilized fuel long enough to INSURE the stabilized fuel was throuhout the engine fuel system.
I can see next springs post already.
at a dead idle on the muffs, will take 20 to 4o min of idle time to treat the engine fuel systems.
did ya toss in some crank case stor-n-start?
and are you sure the hull and engine fuel systems are protected?
