a question for my fellow New Englanders and other cold weather states.
What steps do you take to prevent your steering (hydralic) from freezing up over the witner?
Also, how do you drain and refill the fluids??
Thanks again!!

Last year, I went to put my V in the water and found my steering frozen.
Before I put it away this year, I greaesed all the fittings and the
through shaft really good.
Last year I installed a speacial grease nut on the one side of the steering rod.

Here is a thread all about steering issues:
