Default Winterization

My marina, will take care of anything that they screwed up. It's on the winter storage contract. Most marinas have insurance and they cover it. A few folks had cracked blocks etc sue to improper storage. The marina took care of it and replaced the block with a remanufactured block.

As far as hydrolock, usually happens at idle when the water is forced back up into the exhaust due to a wave. I just remove the plugs, churn the motor over a few times to remove the water, spray a generous amount of MMO in the cylinders, churn it over a few more times, and replace the plugs. You may need starter fluid to start the engine as the MMO is heavy.
