Well I tried it my self this year, I hope I got all the bases covered, Please read and comment if you see anything I should be doing. The boat will be stored in a machine shed Unheated, we can see -40c here, Boat has 24 Hrs on it and used in fresh water.
1-Hooked up hose to fitting at rear of boat
2-Started engine, then turned on water
3-Let engine run until I felt oil pan warm
4-Shut water off and shut down engine
5-Let engine sit for 5 Min. while putting oil pump hose in dipstick tube
6-Started sucking oil into a measured container (3.7 Litre)
7- Pulled tube up , held throttle wide open (flood mode)turned engine over, repeated
Steps 6-7 three times and retrieved the 3.7 litres
8-Changed oil filter, Put 3.7 Litres of New oil back into engine.
9-Pulled bottom hose off intercooler and drained low in boat, reinstalled.
10-Screwed a short hose into hose fitting at rear of boat, put a funnel in the end of
hose, started engine then dumped in -50c Plumbing antifreeze , while keeping funnel above engine, and watching to see pink antifreeze coming from exhaust, shut down engine, I put in 1 gallon of antifreeze in total.
11-Pulled off fuel rail, sprayed BRP anticorrosion for 15 sec. into each Injector hole, then Wide open throttle again and turned engine over a couple times.
12- Reinstalled fuel rail, sprayed engine with anticorrosion, as well as all the impeller from the outside, all the steering mech. etc.
13-Repeated steps 1-12 on the next engine
14- Stuffed all the holes at the rear with steel wool (Mice hate that stuff)
15-Cleaned the interior of the boat, laid Bounce fabric softener sheets all over the inside of the boat including under the seats.Machine shed gets mouse poison around the inside of the building.
I believe I have done as much as possible for the winter storage, can anyone see if I missed something. Thank-You
