"I've got a Mercruiser Ins
"I've got a Mercruiser Installation Manual CD that came with the boat, but it doesn't really show any specs on components. There are no tips or technics on winterizing. It just says "drain the block". I've simplified that a little too, but thats basically it. It gives general ideas where the drains are, and shows where some are that my set-up doesn't have. I would like to figure different ways of getting antifreeze into the system and checking whats already in the closed portion of the system. Sounds silly, but there are things under that hood that are very unfamiliar to me. I've had outboards for years, but this is my first inboard and things are very different. For this year, the boat was new to me, so I didn't take any chances and I paid the $300 and had a shop do the winterizing,(no pulling of OD, no checking of trailer bearings), but from here on in I want to do it myself. I've been reading lots of posts on this site about winterizing and have been getting some ideas, but I'd like a better manual, but I just don't know which one. When I go to pick one up, the books are plastic wrapped and you can't see whats in there without buying it. I want the better one of the two.
Thanks
