Yamaha fsh 210 winterizing

[rpenrod]

What all do I need to do to winterize my yamaha fsh 210. From talking to some people with jet boats they say all I need to do is run it a few minutes to blow out any water. Put a fuel stabilizer in. Elevate the bow so any water would roll out the back. Seems to easy, what am I missing.

Okay so it will freeze there..

Where is the boat to be stored?
Do you have an onboard charger board charger?
Do you have access to electricity?

Fuel stabilizer, put in tank when 1/2 full and fill the tank, go out and drive the boat around to get the stabilizer throughly mixed with the fuel and run through the engine.

When you come off the water follow the directions in the manual about blowing excess water out of water locks / mufflers.

If the boat is going to be stored outside or in an unheated storage area then you should fog the engines.

Raising the bow is something that should be done all the time, but that too.

Make sure your raw water wash down hose is empty. And you might want to try and blow some low pressure air through that system but all I’ve ever done is to make sure the hose is empty and the valve is open under the inspection hatch.
