787 Rotax Motor Winterization

[ablackway]

I know the winterizing threads are clogging the board, but it seems like they're all for the newer motors. I was curious what's recommended for the 787 motors. I've got a 98 Challenger 1800 with the twin 787's. I was planning on disconnecting the battery, using some fogging fluid, and someone else posted something about running anti-freeze through the motors too... is that recommended? Anything else a good idea? Thanks,

Adam

with no anifreeze, the water thats still in the "cooling system"...waterbox, exhaust, cylinders..etc, will freeze up, cracking wherever waters' at.

Most the winterizing is done on either the older 2 strokes or the newer 4-tec strokes. In my avatar is 2 links to help out winterize your seadoo...

How about the bilge pump???

Guys,

I was just wondering about what you did to prevent the pump from freezing. Is there water going to the bilge when it's raining? I don't think so but I want to make sure. If not, I'm thinking of emptying it as much as I can and trow half a gallon of anti-freeze down there and run the pump for a bit. Would this do the trick?

Let us know if you need any more help. Winterizing your seadoo isn't all that complex, but you have to do it right.
