I've still got a good 7 weeks or so before I put her away but I have a few questions. I have a 17 foot Lund with a 2001 90 hp merc. In the past I had free heated storage so I never really worried about freezing water. Well my uncle decided he would put his 67 firebird in my Grandma's heated garage last week so that option is gone this year. I have always fogged it, put in stabil, changed the lower unit lube, and removed the battery so I'm up on those procedures.
Do I need to worry about water in the motor (2 stroke), livewell pumps or bilge or do they drain themselves? Is there anything else that I am missing?
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
