"I just aquired Bayliner with a
Mercruiser 3.0 Alpha 1.
Im new to sterndrives.
My quetion is if its left in Saltwater for 1 or 2 weeks on a mooring is it better to raise the leg up which leaves the Hyraulic ram shafts exposed to the elements, or down. As most of its submerged anyway when raised up.
Also when I have it on the trailer I give it a flush with "Saltaway" Its a 2006 model with the quick connect block-drain hoses. Should I drain the fresh water I just flushed with or leave it in the block, for periods up to a month.
The boat will get used year round there's no winter to worry about. (Is that the reason for the easy to drain hoses)
Thanks Dave"
