2000 Islandia Winterizing - "Witches brew" first time.

[rdkimmel]

So I made the "Witches Brew" and disconnected the fuel line from the main tank and stuck it into 2 gallons of witches brew in another gas can, turned on the water and ran her in the driveway for 10 minutes and could barely tell that any gas was being sucked out of the can. So I ran it for another 10 minutes, pulled the cable out and let the engine run dry which took another 4-5 minutes.

It seemed a bit strange that the boat didn't suck up more gas and that I could run the boat for that long wiht only the fuel left in the lines.

Is running an estimated pint or two of brew enough to winterize the engine?

These boats don't burn much fuel at idle, so if you want to speed the process up the next time drain the fuel from the Vapor Separator and the fuel/water separator. A couple of pints should be more than enough. I also always fog the engine as well. add fuel stabilizer to the tank, and change the Stator and pump oil.
