Volvo Penta winterizing
« on: September 27, 2019, 06:31:52 AM »
It’s almost that time again... all my boats in the past have been mercruiser’s  and I know how to winterize them no problem.. however our new one is a Volvo Penta, so I’m wondering if there is any difference in how to winterize, drain block and anything to do to the water pump-impeller?    I’ve heard putting anti- freeze in them?     We always get at least one run in October so I’m not in any rush yet..
