Hi guys,
I keep my boats outdoors and use them all winter so I've never winterized my boats.
(I'm in Victoria, so fairly mild usually).
Boats on a trailer in my driveway.
It usually doesn't get below zero here, ............ but may occasionally.
Sometimes I worry about cold snaps that might cause damage to the block...... freezing, cracking etc.
I've kept my boats outdoors like this for two seasons, no issues so far.
Should I be worried ?
What do you guys do for a "quick winterize" to get thru a freak cold snap ?
Is there a way to put antifreeze into the cooling passages ? or drain the water from the cooling passages ?
I've got a Yamaha 150 and a Yamaha 50
Thanks in advance !
