Coolant system: Biodegradable RV Antifreeze. Run engine on flushette (muffs) with garden hose connected to water until warm and thermostat is open. Then disconnect water and allow engine and drive to drain. Then, while engine is still warm, pour RV antifreeze into flushette. Run engine until you see RV antifreeze come out the exhaust. You will need a funnel, clear hose is best, old garden hose piece will work and male hose fitting to attach to flushette. Some will put hose in jug of RV antifreeze and allow pump to suck it up. But if your engine is larger, or an I/O it may use more than one gallon. Do not drain RV antifreeze. This forces remaining water out, dilutes any remaining water, and helps with corrosion prevention.

This is done before fogging. Video was not a maintenance video. Just winterizing. Ther are grease fittings that should be greased with correct grease per manual. If equipped with trim system, check fluid. See manual or better yet, our seasons are short. You may want an authorized dealer to winterize and perform annual maintenance. That way, if you have a problem come spring, you have someone other than yourself to make it right.

First year boat owner, and am going to winterize now. I have a 1982 25 hp Evinrude. I assume I need to hook water up while it’s running to get the treated gas through the system so nothing burns up. With that being said and if that’s the case, would it be better to replace the lower unit gear oil after the motor is finished running and I have fogged the motor? I say this incase while the motor is running, I don’t want to take a chance of water ending up in my fresh gear oil.

Yes if you use muffs while running engine (which you should) you will be getting water in the system and possibly in the lower unit. If you lower unit take on water it could freeze. I just remove lower unit oil or put in new. Let the water drain. Run in stabil or run stabil in fuel tank in last outing of the year. Spray in fogging oil in to the cylinders. Some people run their carb dry by disconnecting the fuel line from the tank.

It’s a good idea to make sure that you don’t store it without preparing the fuel system and gear case. The ethanol in modern gas will start to gum up without stabil or some other storage additive, and it will varnish if left for a few years. The gear case is important but for a different reason. You want to inspect it AT LEAST once a season before storage - I check it before and after storage - because if you store it with water in the system, low oil, or both, corrosion will make quick work of those intricate gears. Depending on the size of your engine, you will not have to buy gear oil too often. I have an Evinrude 2hp and a 4hp both from the 70s, and they both only take about a 2/3s cup of lube. I don’t take chances with mine considering that parts are almost nonexistent, but in the end it’s your motor. Hope this helped!

I would say no... you can do them at end of season or beginning. Alot of people change lower gear oil and spark plugs at end of season cuz it's easy and then you just crank up in spring. I would change both annually regardless of when you do it.

See your service manual. Most recommend fluid changes annually. It’s not hard or expensive and like the video shows it allows you to observe what is going on INSIDE the drive whether OB or I/O. Look for milky fluid or water may settle out after sitting for long periods of non-use. Metal shavings may indicate a trip to dealer is needed. Small amounts of particulate can be normal wear. Longer strands is not normal. Water in drive can be caused by multiple things: fishing line damage if seal, overheat, housing damage, etc.
