I had my 1801 winterized when I was back on MV last month to fish the Derby. Changed to a new yard as I was tired of getting ripped off at Maciel's and picked up the boat the day after I dropped it off.
When I went to hook up the boat, I noticed a cut off plastic bottle upside down in the fuel fill. I am sure that it was used when they added stabilizer to the fuel, but I was a little pissed that they forgot to remove it as it RAINED all day long.
They then had the gall to send me the bill and point out that the filter was full of water and to make sure to change it out next season! Time for yet another boatyard.
My question is how hard is it to totally drain the fuel tank? I am down to the bottom (Yamaha fuel gauge shows last bar) of my old NON Ethanol gas, so it probally is a good idea to drain it anyway before filling up with the new gas next season.
Is this something I should farm out, or will the old suck and siphon into a jug work? Do I put the tube down the fill, or go directly from the tank through the access port?
Thanks,
Todd
