if you have a closed loop cooling system find a way to get rv antifreez though the heat exhchanger. i had a t by my pump to attatch a hose to and i used a sump pump to push the antifreez though , also if you dont have a sand trap inline, pull out the exhaust manifold plugs on both sides and blow air though them to dislodge any sand and crud that could trap in water and crack them do this before you pump the antifreez though, use fuel stabilizer .and fill up your boat befor you store it . drain your carb if aplicable , change oil and fuel filter can any one else think of any thing hope this helps |

Remove the caps from the heat exhcangers and drain the exhaust manifolds if they're raw water cooled. Check the antifreeze to ensure it is rated for your winter (including power outages) Wrap the motor in a blanket and put a small heater under there to keep the mice warm... |
