Very informative video!! I notice you have trim tabs on your boat, can you comment on whether these are really needed on a 20 - 24 ft boat? I'm looking at a boat now and they are a 1K+ option. Thanks again!!
If you go in the ocean, they are needed. They bring the bow down so the waves are not ponding the middle area of the hull. They also level out the ride. I would highly recommend them.
I know leaving the engine down will drain water but j like to mix antifreeze into the miffs. Also put some in my bilge and tilt the trailer down to spread throughout the boat so things don’t freeze…
Do you fill the fuel separator with fresh gas? And if not does it causes insures starting in the spring. Just got a new Sea Hunt and want to do my own service. Nice video. I live on the great Bay close by...
Thank you. Leave it empty over the winter. In the spring, I prime the engine by squeezing the bulb on the fuel line. Never had an issue. Going on 10 years of winterizing this way.
By adding Yamaha EFI Storing fluid or and mixture of oil and stabilizer in a separate gas tank, there is no need to spray fogging fluid. I find it easier this way. If you want to spray fogging fluid, there is a small rubber boot for each cylinder. When you remove it, you can insert a red straw attached to the can and spray it directly into the cylinder. There is no way to spray all 4 cylinders at the same time unless you make a manifold out of plastic tubing.
You can also remove the spark plugs and spray directly into each cylinder. Replace the plugs and turn the engine over with boots removed so it does not start. My boat is only out of the water a couple months so I don’t bother. If you were storing it for an extended time, this would provide added protection.
Did you make the primer bulb setup your self? You just prime the mixture into the filter and run until it smokes? You want to leave the filter empty after that right? And at the end do you add the stabilizer first then fill gas in to mix it good and you don't start the engine after that do you?

Hello, u know hose size /primer bulb set up
How to winterize my Colman rv camper
Do you run the motor after changing the oil ?
No.
Is it possible that the primary fuel filter part you listed is incorrect?
This is the factory fuel filter for an f150. Yamaha OEM Outboard Primary Fuel Filter Element 6P3-WS24A-01-00
Do you fog it for winter?
Fogging oil is added to the gas that is run through first.
Do you fog the engine ??
The engine gets fogged from the oil mixture that is added to the auxiliary gas tank.
You don't fog the engine?
