Yamaha 130 winterise?
Hi All, 
Thank you for all the assistance so far. If I may ask one more question…
Our winters here in South Africa aren’t as severe as the UK or the United States.
What would be your opinion if I don’t winterize my Yamaha 130, but I start it every weekend and run it at a fast idle on muffs from the garden hose, (We have quite a high water pressure on our water supply), run for 10-15 minutes, up to operating temp, and then shut it down until next the next weekend.
Would this constitute too much idling or is this ok? The motor is in peak condition with 205 hours on it.
Thanks again for all the interesting posts on the forum.
Kind Regards,
Dennis.
