Winterization Manual?

[Chas]

After going through the winterization section here in the forum, I have come to the conclusion that there are many variations in the winterization of a boat. I am still confused, however. :smt100 Is there a Winterization Manual that would cover my particular boat that has step by step instructions (and also illustrations) on how to properly winterize the various systems (engines, head, air, etc.). Something like this would be very helpful for someone like me who is somewhat mechanically inclined, cheap, and willing to do the work himself. My manual that came with the boat leaves much to be desired. I want to make sure that I do this correctly, as I really like my new boat (new to me) and would not want to do anything to damage it. Winter is around the corner and I want to be prepared. It seems like there should be something like this out there for purchase. Thanks

The Mercury manual that came with your boat should explain how to winterize your engine and your outdrive.

There are various other ways to winterize your freshwater system and head but those have been explained in numerous posts on the board. There may not be pictures in these posts but hopefully there have been adequate explainations given to help you understand what to do.
