How To: Winterize Supra or Moomba boat with Indmar Assault 325

  • Step by step video on how to perform a dry winterization for the Indmar Assault 325 motor. I have used this method for the past 4 years, and live in a climate that sees single digits regularly. This method may be applicable to other makes and models as well, but this was done on my 2006 Supra 20v. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them. Don't mind the video of my pocket towards the end... skip through that.

    I winterized my 2014 Tige R20 with the same engine as your boat. I did it with the help of your video. I hope everything will be good because it's cold here in Canada
    Afterward I put prestone through the J pipe and in the cooler of the V Drive.
    Thanks for your time doing this video.

    Good video, one suggestion is to reinstall the plugs it will keep your block from rusting on the threads

    • @MikeZimmermanOfficial
      @MikeZimmermanOfficial  4 года назад

      Certainly an option. I just hit the holes with a wire brush real quick in the spring (if I even do that). Haven't really had problems. You can also coat the threads with some oil or grease. I like to keep the plugs out when I winterize because I store my boat off-site and winterize at my house. When I drive the boat back to storage going up and down hills, I want any water that may not have drained to be able to escape while driving.

  • @ezvue
    @ezvue 10 месяцев назад

    First timer. Thanks for this; alleviated all the uncertainty. Would suggest also doing the following: 1) Remove V-drive water drain plug. A lot of water came out. 2) Disconnect the starboard side v-drive hose, not port side. SBoard side will drain from the impeller. (So you don’t need to struggle with that hard to reach impeller hose). 3) Lastly, run the bilge. 1.5 pails of water were collected. Will reduce chance of mold & mildew.

      Do you know where the water drain plug for these ZF v drive is? First timer too… I can’t seem to find it, there’s one big plug down there but isn’t that the drain for the trans oil??

  • @JeffRigney
    @JeffRigney 5 лет назад +2

    Antifreeze helps push trapped water pockets out. Add a little thru the top of J hose with block plugs out/open. When u see the RV antifreeze come out most likely you’ve pushed all the little water pockets out if there were any. Also the antifreeze sitting inside the block helps cut down on internal rust.

  • @Snojeboam48

    Compressed air had good results in clearing the hoses. I did drain the V-drive and there was a considerable amount of water, more than i’d feel comfortable leaving to freeze. My 05’ Supra 21v had a strainer to the v-drive as well that was clogged with pine needles.
    Thanks again, great job. 👍🏼

    • @MikeZimmermanOfficial
      @MikeZimmermanOfficial  Год назад

      That is a consideration, as it does help prevent corrosion. I'm still using this method every year and it's working great. There's certainly no problem using anti-freeze, it's just an extra step that I don't use.

      Not sure I understand your question, but yes I have the batteries wired in parallel (makes them 1 large battery) then I just connect the charger terminals to one of the batteries terminals. Also, still have these same batteries, they're from 2012. Still going strong.

    • @MikeZimmermanOfficial
      @MikeZimmermanOfficial  2 года назад

      I have, yes. Pretty straight forward if you have a vacuum pump to suck fluid out. Just suck it out, and replace it with the correct spec/volume of the fluid you're chaning.

    Awesome video thank you! I just bought a 2006 21v. Could you make one of the fogging process?

    • @MikeZimmermanOfficial
      @MikeZimmermanOfficial  2 года назад

      I meant to do this, and apologize for not having done so. It's pretty straight forward, just pull the spark arrestor off, and spray engine fogging spray directly into the throttle body. You'll hear the motor bog down. After spraying for a 5 seconds or so, if it doesn't kill your motor, just shut the motor off and you're done.

      @adriangartland2533 3 года назад

      @@mikefriederichs3432 Hi Mike, yes I did all the maintenance myself and winterised it myself. I did up a check sheet to follow, if you want to PM me I can email over to you. It's fairly simple to follow. I have summarised below
      > Raw water pump - Remove impeller + Remove upper & lower hose
      > Disconnect j-hose
      > Disconnect heat hoses from engine & blow through to remove water
      > Port/starboard manifold: Disconnect brass hose connector & drain
      > Muffler: Remove drain bolt
      > Block plugs: Remove both Port & starboard brass block drain plugs
      > Ballast pumps: Pump out tanks, disconnect pump hoses
      > Battery: Remove battery
      > Drain Billage
      > Clean out sea strainer
      I didn't stabilise the fuel, I just drained the tank which worked quite well.
      Hope this helps. I might have photos if your stuck. But I've since sold the X2 and bough a sports cruiser. I also have the MC manual which details the winterisation process, helpful as has a few illustrations.

    Great video! I’m going to try winterizing for my first time this year in Michigan. Is this style of winterization applicable for this region? If not, I heard you mention putting everything back together and running anti freeze through it. If I did this, would I only need to add antifreeze to the j hose?

    • @MikeZimmermanOfficial
      @MikeZimmermanOfficial  2 года назад +1

      You should be fine winterizing dry. I'm in Kansas City, and we regularly have below freezing weather. Not Michigan below freezing, but still quite cold for long periods of time and my boat is stored in the sheds you see in the background where there's no climate control.

    • @patricklefere7060
      @patricklefere7060 2 года назад

      After putting my boat back together do I need to do anything else to it before I put it in the water? Is it ok to start the boat with no water in the blocks etc...thank you again for the video! Learned a lot last fall winterizing it on my own.

    What kind of ballist system you have?

    • @MikeZimmermanOfficial
      @MikeZimmermanOfficial  2 года назад

      It's just the stock ballast that came in the boat. Uses a single inlet pump that distributes to 3 bags via sprinkler valves and solenoids.
      They call it the Gravity III ballast system.
