Winterizing
all of the above, We add Diesel to the Prop Tunnel to prevent the Castings from drying out and salt impacting/Cracking etc.
Always worth Pulling it off to check there is no water ingress into the Uj cavity...If there is by the time the spring comes....New UJ..Gimble or the rust sometimes tears the Top main Oil seal apart!!
Most have grease nipples on the UJ spiders, To displace any water in the bearings, same for gimbal.
Full service now is the only insurance.
Run Fogging oil through the engine just before you shut down (Petrol only)
Run antifreeze mixed with an emulsifying oil through the cooling system even if closed cooled.
Then drain off as much as you can, Crank engine every 6-8 weeks to re-circulate fogging oils etc.charge batts,keep dry.
