Sounds good. Just keep an eye on the oil for a while as the coolers can crack and stuff.

Otherwise they'll most likely rust thru someday...

UMMM,,,,,, YES!

$1.69 for brass or .99 for a steel one! Figured I can spend .70 now for not having to deal with it again!

Thurough winterization first time around done by myself.
Wife hates that I spend an easy 8-10 huors winterizing the boat.
I use Green RV 100 proof to start with, after fogging down I pull plugs and use oil/gas/sea foam mixture sprayed into each cylinder.
All oils changed, all zerts greased, wd sprayed on just about anything.
The last 'hibernation' state was from summer of o6-spring of 08 and no issues what so ever that term. Was very dissapointed that the plug popped on this term :( but I plan on never letter her sit that long again. At least while I own it!
