I have a 1972 Mark Twain 165 HP. Purrs like a kitten. Great stuff you post, I'm learning a lot from you. Keep them coming.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks, will do! thanks for watching

[@nateoconnell5404]

I just purchased a 1973 StarCraft Supersport 16ft, my first boat! I am doing a complete rebuild and I’ve learned a lot watching your videos! It’s been a fun process bringing the old girl back to life. Thanks for the tips and tricks!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Welcome aboard! and thanks for watching, you'll get the old starcraft brought back around.

Awesome video 👍👍👍

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks for the visit

After removing hose, drain block and manifold, then pour anti down hose to refill, saves a lot of anti. Your only diluting what is left in block. Another way...after hot, engine off water off, put muffs on with hose in bucket of anti, fire up, fog, kill engine with oil when anti gone. Drain block. Pump to exhaust anti juice.

Great review, the JFEGWO 6000A jump pack is the best car jump starter I've ever used, and I will continue to buy it as gifts for my family members.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching

[@drkwlsk]

Same here, I've bought 3 so far!

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Great video Sir a lot of great helpful tips. The Jf jump pack is great to have plus how compact it is you get jump start, air compressor, plus it charges up your phone .. I want to say I really appreciate the time and effort you do put into your videos and for sharing your experiences on projects you work on no matter what it is whether it’s on RMD creations or RM3D creations . I really enjoy all of it and I have learned new things from you.. Great drone footage 👍👍👍As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming .. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Hey thanks for the comments and thanks for watching as always.

[@drkwlsk]

Good instructional video Sir! I always just left my thermostat hoses loose and unclamped and left my freeze plugs out allowing gravity to drain. I'd just sponge up anything left in the bilge . Empty of any fluids is always best

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks for sharing

[@anthonylatronica5108]

Where have you been. No new videos? Hope all is well with you.

[@JohnnyCab]

Great job on winterizing your boats. Could you do one on the outboards?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Possibly!

[@drkwlsk]

Just trim it all the way down, outboards drain themselves. Fog your 2 strokes and any carburated 4 strokes

[@curtbrown9702]

HOW DE. Question? Don't have one, been watching. Fog! Haven't been fogged for years. 😂

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Well don't start now unless it on a boat, LOL

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

I no you saying on the lower end units you are going to change the lube but what if a seal went bad you don't know it and there's water in it all winter next spring comes now you fine out the lower end unit has a crack. I have allows drained the lower end units in the fall . I have a question are you going to do a video winterizing outboard motor's for the people that only have outboards and if there is a difference from a 2hp and bigger

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

If you think the seal may be bad, then by all means change it out and see what's in there. thanks for watching

[@earlwilliams2889]

How about outbords ,should you store them down also , should you fog the uper end also ?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Fog it while it is running then run the carb dry by disconnecting the fuel line. Store it in an upright position, this is for an older two stroke. Thanks for watching

[@dennisharrington3384]

Sir. Thanks. What do you do with all the outboard motors you restore?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I keep some and I sell some, thanks for watching

[@williamhammerstrom9860]

Haven't heard from you in a while, Michael. U ok?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Yes sir, I'm just fine. Trying to get some other stuff done before winter sets in, you can check me out over on RM3D Creations for other content, thanks for watching

[@williamhammerstrom9860]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina well, that's a relief my friend.

[@chriscobb4939]

What is the best way to do a 2 stroke boat motor

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]
