    Default Anything different about winterizing my 06 V-Drive with the 8.1 liter?

    With cold weather rearing its ugly head, time to think about the dreaded winterization. Is there anything different about winterizing the 8.1 liter and the v-drive versus the old pirata? Any links to where all the drain plugs etc. are for that engine?

    This is for a 5.7, but I can't imagine that it's TOO different.

    If you are looking for one with pics, try this - pretty simple - from the Moomba Site:

    Getting the water out of the motor is very easy.
    I store the ballast bags in the house.
    I change the oil 2x year - depending on use: mid-year and the end-year.
    Fuel Filter at the beginning of each year.
    I did not use the boat that much this summer, so my Plugs look new.
