Winterizing question

[wellcraftv20step]

Last year I winterized my Yamaha ox66 by adding all the proper fuel additives and spraying fogging oil by romoving the plugs and rotating the motor. I did not remove the intake and Fog that way. Should I be doing that and if I do should I expect my o2 sensor to be fouled ?

[THEFERMANATOR]

I would fog through the intake if it was mine. That way you get a protective coating on the internal rotating assembly as well as the pistons/rings. You should clean the O2 in the spring, but I wouldn't think fogging it would kill one.

Gotcha Ferm, thanks !

I winterized mine this week...

Threw my hoodie in the cabin

[SkunkBoat]

Just did my Ox66s. Sprayed some fogger into intakes while running then shut off, removed plugs and sprayed holes, turned over motors, sprayed some more, put plugs back, sprayed everything with WD40, put cover on....see you in April....

Going out tomorrow, gonna be 78.

Ok Bradford, it already the worst day of the year for me when I lay up the boat.. you don't have to rub salt in the wound!!!! But Seriously. I used to leave the boat in a few weeks longer but as I get older I don't need to be power washing in the freezing weather.....Skunk, that's precisely what I did last night and then called the shrinkwrap guy. CRAP, I forgot the batteries ..

[randlemanboater]

I guess it's what I get for making fun of you guys winterizing your boats...had a little snow, sleet, freezing rain over the weekend, and now lows in the 20's all week.

We got an inch or two before it turned back to rain and washed it away, just north of here, 25-30 miles, they got 8-10 inches.

I like that truck

[wellcraftv20step]

That is nice ! Is that a 70 ??

[randlemanboater]

It's a 72. My grandfather bought it in 73, I got it from him in 82 for my first car.

The open area behind it is where I am getting ready to build my garage/shop so I can start a frame off restoration...maybe, I really like using it as a truck.

[wellcraftv20step]

I love it,,,the history is as cool as the truck !

[bradford]

I'd rather have it as a cool clean driver Randleman, always liked those models.

Oh and we paid for that 78 degree day after the front came through, 50s and rain for 3 days. Wore long pants for the second time this season.

X2 Classic in every way. It looks like a pick up truck should look. Business like.

went out today, good thing i had winterized, temp was mid 60's.

honestly don't know how you guys north of I-10 do it

[wellcraftv20step]

While I was plowing in the wee hours of the morning I was asking myself that very question !!!! Then I went one step further,I asked myself WHY I do it.... it's not even Christmas and I'm already done with the cold

[randlemanboater]

Ok, seriously, I promise to never make fun of you guys winterizing for the rest of my life.

Been snowing all day, going to be 14 degrees tonight.

According to the Weather Channel over 270,000,000 (270 million) people in the United States are living in below freezing weather right now. Only California and parts of Arizona and New Mexico are above freezing. Next time, think twice before you southern guys laugh at us for winterizing... (We secretly control the weather) MUHAHAHAHAHAHHA :hide:
