    winterization

    Question
    Winterization of mercury 250 pro xs optimax serial 2B362393. With the teaspoon of oil added to each spark plug opening....its mentioned to turn on engine and spin 2-3 times with plugs out. Was wondering if manually turning prop a few rotations is as effective?

    Also where are people buying parts from online?
