Does anyone in the HEB area of Texas have a flush adapter I can borrow?! I am trying to winterize my boat before the cold weather hits. I have ordered one on Amazon but now it looks like it won't be here until next week (they originally said it would be here yesterday). I bought my first boat this past summer & I didn't realize there was not a flush adapter with it. Also, I have read a lot of opposing threads about what you need to do to winterize the boat...what do you guys in North Texas do?! Thanks, Gerry
 
There is not much you have to do. I flush my boat after every weekend...however the issue is to get the remaining water out. After shutting off the water, let the engine run a few seconds and do a couple of revs....nothing extreme, just enough rpms to blow out the residual water. I spray silicon on the exterior of the engines to prevent corrosion and that is about it. I don't fog mine as some do because it never sits for more than a couple of months without being started. Oh, and make sure your gas tank is full and, if you use pump gas with ethanol, treat with Stabil 360.
 
@Gerry Smith if you need a flush adapter quick, you can probably find one at a Yamaha dealer near you.

I typically don't do anything to winterize in Texas, other than some Stabil in the fuel.

I'm in Corinth and your welcome to borrow mine.

Really at this point I wouldn't worry about it. Dump some stabil in the gas tank, Run the engine for a 30 seconds and bump the throttles to blow a little bit of water out of the water boxes, pull all the plugs, jack the front end up high and don't worry about it.

We have members in Canada that do the same and don't have any problems, I've had my boat for 8 winters now.

If you want to come back later in the next week or two to fog the engines it probably wouldn't hurt but that doesn't equate to the freeze.
