Should I be worried? Did not fill gas tank/add fuel stabilizer.
20Malibu06 posted a topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Very excited to have bought a very well-maintained 2006 Malibu Wakesetter XTI last spring. We're new to owning a boat. It's been out of the water since July of 2022. Stored it outdoors under a carport with cover on through the winter. Lots of rain and wind. No freezing temperatures (Santa Rosa, CA). Realizing now that we left the gas tank almost empty rather than filling it and adding stabilizer. I've read about the potential for condensation. Should we be worried? Anything we should do before running it? -
We recently bought our 08 23lsv, the guy put a new engine in it because the last one got flooded because they bored the pistons too much, so he got this new GM 8.1l Vortec engine. We already winterized it ourselves, but on all these other videos i’ve watched, the people pull plugs from the manifold and from the block to drain the water, but i don’t know if this engine has those, the last thing i want is to put it in the lake next season and find out we cracked our block, so can anyone tell me if this engine has those drain ports, if so where are they located. if not then just running antifreeze through the engine should be fine right? Let me know thank you!

Winterizing 2012 23LSV 6.0 LY6 409hp
Dill30705 posted a topic in Maintenance, Tech Info & Troubleshooting
Looking for any tips and or tricks to winterizing my new to me 2012 23lsv with the 6.0 motor. I don’t want to risk cranking the block this winter as it get right around freezing for a couple months every night where I live. North Georgia. This is my first v-drive to ever winterize and my first 6.0 so I want to make sure I don’t miss anything. There are many more hoses, pumps , ballast tanks etc than my previous 2000 Supra 5.7 direct drive boat. Thanks! -
