How do you winterize a 1999 Bayliner Capri 3.0 Mercruiser?

Answer 1

Join this boating forum, they also email articles such as how to winterize a boat.
I have done as they suggest and never had a problem.
Fill the gas tank, add a fuel stabilizer, run the motor long enough to get the carbs full of stabilized fuel
Change out the lower unit gear oil
remove the spark plugs and fog the cylinders, also fog the carburetors
grease all fittings, cover and store
Pretty much covers it, but check out the forum in case I missed something

Answer 3

1999 Bayliner Capri

Answer 4

Bayliner is what's called an "entry level boat" which is a nice way of saying "cheap piece of crap". Force is an old chrysler and is absolute JUNK. Mercruiser is an inboard/outboard which is totally different but much better. Personally I would never even consider a Bayliner. Look around thoroughly before spending your money. P.S. Did you hear that next years Bayliner is coming with a glass bottom? Yeah, so you can see last years model!

Answer 5

Best way is to put lower unit into a garbage can put 3 gal antifreeze in with 2 gal water start up let run till water get warm 10= 15 minutes.Last minute pour outboard oil slow into carb when smokes real good shut off > Put gas line antifreeze into tank on your last outing. An put the anti== back into gallons filter use next yr or another eng.All for under $ 50, Use the garbage can not dump on the ground or pets will eat it an die??As it poision.Remember

Answer 6

On my last outing, I fill with fresh gas on last fill-up of season and add Fuel Stabilizer and run.
I not remember, but, there about 2-3 drain plugs on the engine, look you will see. One on the Starter side and may be a T-Valve (It may screw clockwise to open, I not remember, easy to know though) then there may be 1-2 on the other side. One is on the bottom of the Exhaust Manifold. I left mine out and lay where they by the engine. Then I also remove the Rubber water hose as it may pocket a little water. Lower Unit down. If the boat outside rain can pocket behind the prop if the unit not down.

Answer 7

You may ask a dealer. Also, you could buy a repair manual and it show. If, you plan on keeping the boat for a long time a manual be worth the money. Also, it a good help when you sell the boat and give the manual to the new owner.

Answer 8

Have it done professionally. If you make a mistake it can get costly. I have replaced many manifolds and engine blocks every spring because the people just didnt get it quite right

Answer 9

you need the following;full tank of fuel,fuel stabilizer,oil stabilizer,engine fogger,engine protectant spray,"non tox" anti-frieze,"ear muffs" for your lower end,a siphon tube wth a fitting to match "ear muffs".1) add stabilizers to fuel & oil (follow directions on product) 2) remove flame arrester from carb 3) with earmuffs installed run motor a few mins. w/ water from garden hose,shut off mortor. 4)install siphon to earmuffs, place other end in antifrieze, re-start mortor,mortor will suck up anti frieze, just before it's gone spray fogger directly into carb untill mortor stalls. 5)spray entire engine w/ protectant, remove battery, electtronics ,ect. and cover boat

Answer 10

you need to drain all the water from the engine also drain the fluid from the out drive also cover it up tight so the electrical system stays dry
