Burning off fogging oil?

[JetBoatPilot]

Yes we don't see freezing temps often but have heard from dealers and even Yamaha direct that antifreeze is not needed. Just blow the water out with three short blasts of throttle at at least half power or more to blow the excess water out of the water box and anywhere else it might be pooling.

I am curious how many cans of fogging oil should be used to really fog FOUR minutes on each engine?

 

[jetboater4life]

I fogged for a couple of minutes and used about 3/4 of a can. I think it differs if you talking the new 1.8s vs the older MR1s.

As far as fogging goes, I have to disagree with Will's video of starting it back up after fogging it and replacing plugs pre winter storage. I have always been taught and it makes logical sense to not replace plugs if you are fogging as the oil can foul your new plugs, save them for your post winter start up. Also I fog like Will does loading the motor eventually killing it. Then I would pull the safety lanyard and crank it a few seconds to evenly disperse the oils on the walls and thats it. Post winter storage, fire it up, hook up a hose and get it to temp. Then replace your old plugs with new and enjoy the season. Allowing the motor to run will burn off any oil in the cylinder defeating the fogging purpose. Granted our engines are aluminum alloy along with the pistons but the rings are still high carbon steel and they can rust. If you feel you must start it back up, then I would pull the plugs at that time, give a shot of fogging oil in each cylinder, while plugs are out, crank it a few seconds then replace the plugs, but I would still use the old plugs till I fired it back up out of storage just to save the chance of possible fowling of the new plugs. Other than that, Will's video is a great step by step in my opinion.

On my 1.8. Am I sucking the oil out the dipstick chamber opening or the cap on the top of the motor

Draw it out of the dip stick.

 

[Geiger41]

And fill back up through the cap on top iwould assume. Doing it all rt now. Extracting is going very easy so far via dipstick. Any added tips anyone ?

Before you pull the oil filters to exchange, lay a disposable absorbent bed pad (something like this: http://www.northshorecare.com/underpadbeige1.html) under the engine below the oil filter.

You will almost certainly spill a little (or a lot) of dirty, black used oil when you pull the filter. The disposable pad will contain and absorb such spills and more minor drips - such pads are larger than diapers and lay flat, so well fit for this purpose.
When done, crumple up the pad and dispose. This will save you some awkward, inverted cleanup under your engines.

I tried putting a zip lock bag over my filter and had paper towels underneath. Bad idea as I ended up in the awkward, inverted cleanup under my engines position. The zip lock bag slowed me down in getting the filter off and didn't stop the mess. The paper towels are no substitute for a good incontinent pad or the one you list above. If you've got size 6 diapers around those might work too.

I needed to clean down there anyway, so now it sparkles.

You could also take a long screwdriver and pop a hole in the rear of your filter so you can use your extractor to drain it. It won't stop the mess entirely but it will reduce it some.

I bought a bunch of those pads at a goodwill store....still have a few left 10 years later....makes oil changes a breeze!!!

 

[jetboater4life]

I just bought the 10pack that @GTBRMC recommended. No more incontinent oil changes for me!

Try these.

This is what we use on the HazMat team and they are great. So if you have any water in there it won't be absorbed possibly making a larger mess. And believe it or not they are cheaper than a "bed" pad.
