Red,
What do you do to winterize your inboard jet? I ended up purchasing a Thunder Jet with a Chevy/Kodiak 5.7 liter 350 engine. I can seem to locate any drain valves other than the one for the sand trap.
Thanks,
Jason

No winterization required. The jets are self-draining. No lower unit to hold water. I add 'Stabil Storage' to the fuel tank and that is it.
Also, You may want to consider pushing the throttle handle all the way forward (if you do not already) when trailering the boat. This will cut down on vibration within the bucket bushings. Take it from someone who just dropped 2000.00 last August getting all that stuff replaced due to 1,084 hours of run time on the original parts. Granted, I am putting about 110 hours on my boat each year but I probably should have gotten more time out of the original parts. Wiegel told me about the little throttle forward trick to help extend the life of the bushings.

OK. That's what I thought, but I was told that you should drain the exhaust manifolds and I can't find a drain on them. Nice tip on the bushings. Thanks
Interesting. I haven’t heard of that before.
