    04 Rude 225 HO winterize?

    I believe the 04 is still an etec platform, correct me if I'm wrong. But I have been seeing videos of winterize mode with the etecs and wonder of it is the same for the 04 motor. I see The 3/4 throttle and mone has the hot foot so would.I just hold that 3/4 for 15 sec. Any help.would be much appreciated.

    The 04 225 HO was a DI not an E-Tec. You will need to use the fogging spray method.

    Instructions are on the can. Use BRP fogging oil.

    thanks, if the boat is used on a regular basis is it necessary to winterize the motor or just the lower unit water free

    No need to winterize if you are going to use it at least once a month. Just check the lower for water.
