Our New Baby, 2024 252SE 🎉

[BeepBeep]

Sadly, today I winterized the boat. We’ve had cool weather, schedules suck, and the oldest is back in school. Oil changed, fogged the intake/cylinders, and treated the fuel. Fogging the intake is fairly easy by removing what looks like a breather tube off the intake tunnel past the air filter box. Accessing the air filter is pretty inconvenient, if I ever replace it I’ll have to take the rubber clamp off the one end and take the whole piece out to make life easier. Decided to attach blue tape to the negative and positive wires that go to the house battery so it’s easier to remember. Now I’ll live vicariously through all you southern folk who boat just about year round!

When you get a chance, please post a photo of the breather tube. Thx

I'll be boating in the Colorado River frequently (regularly 110°+). Should I stick with 10W-40 or go with 20W-40 as suggested in the manual?
