Winterize OMC King Cobra[ Ol' Paw's Boat Motor Bulletin Board ] [ Ol' Paw's Fishing Page ] Posted by Aaron Hurwitz (66.108.4.62) on November 13, 2003 at 09:45:53:
I have a 1990 Donzi Blackwidow with the original 454 King Cobra Stern Drive. I do most work myself and am fairly skilled with a wrench. Have never winterized an I/O myself before, but lots of work on Inboards and Outboards. I know I need to fog the engine, change the oil, run environmentally safe antifreeze through it, change the gearcase oil, pull the drive off, store it, and grease the gimball bearing. Am I leaving anything out and could someone give me a little more exact description of what needs to be done and how to do it? I don’t want to find out in the spring that my gimball bearing has seized or the bellows are ruined because I left something out. I'm having trouble removing the gear lube filler plug and not sure where to drain it from. Thanks for the advice. |
