What is the proper way to get the water out of the lines on the speedo and water pressure gauge.



I have a 99 150XR6 Merc



I am going to print your article and use it this weekend.

Jim, That is an excellent article! It is the most user friendly article I've read on how to winterize our motors and lower unit. Thanks for the time you put into it and the useful info.

JIm, that's the best and easiest to understand article on winterizing I have seen. Great work and it will be most welcome addition to the Grab Bag.

Nice Job!



Don't forget about the winterization of your trailer. It requires some attention as well.

Excellent piece of work, photo's add a lot. Just what I was looking for to save me a few bucks now that I am retired.

 

[Steve Rizza]

That will make a nice Grab Bag project.

Nice job.

Jim,

Just excellent!! Nicely written, easy to follow with great pics to make it simpler to do. Anyone looking to do

this job themselves will be quite happy when they find your

article!

Thanks Jim!!! I've never had to winterize before this year. Your article and photo's are a God send. My son's truck restoration project will be taking up my babies spot in the gerage this winter. I hate it, I have NEVER left a boat outside. Oh well, the things we do for our kids. HHhhhmmmmm, I guess that I could build a bigger gerage??

Jim, I tried to find your article on winterizing and didn't find it. Can you post it again or email it to me? Thanks!

I don't think it ever made it to the Grab Bag section and now the link is dead...

 

[Tim Jeffers]

I printed it off last year and used it this year to winterize my outboard. It's an awesome article - if the link cannot be re-established I'd be happy to send copies to anyone interested (with Jim B's permission).
