Mud Motor "Summerizing"?

[Slim Pickens]

Anything special should be done when putting my mud motor to sleep for the summer? Or standard stuff, like remove all the fuel and fog it?

Definetely remove the fuel....the Obama juice (ethanol) will ruin it unless you run it constantly...

I just add fuel stablizer and I have no problems... Make sure you cover it so the sun does not destroy the plastic!!!

That sounds good but if you can swing it try to start it a couple times and run it out of gas when you do. There is no good answer to winterizing a motor. it is a pain to say the least. Put a good stabilizer in there and run it dry and drain the bowl. store it out of the weather if you can as well.
