Winter storage

[bassgas]

I have a 2010 mercury 250 pro xs what do i need to do to store over the winter???

What I do with mine is change the gear oil and flip the kill switch so it won't start and crank it over with full throttle and spray WD-40 in the butterfly to keep moisture from gathering in the engine (that's what my mechanic says to do) before that put stable in the gas and run it with the muffs on it and you should be good to go...

I'd add trim the motor all the way down to make sure the water is out of the engine. Pull the plugs and fog the cylinders too. If you have a water pressure gauge, remove the hose from it and let it drain.

if you have the original manual for the motor, there should be instructions as to what mercury recommends. if you don't have the manual, you should be able to download a copy from the mercury website

Actually here is what you want to do to your motor before storage. You do not want to spray WD40 into the cylinders.
