I thought this was up but it wasn't. This is a pamphlet we have for winterization. If you have any questions feel free to post them and I will answer...

One thing I do want to mention that is not on there is about some other types of antifreezes. The Quicksilver brand antifreeze that is -50 is NOT recommended by a few Merc guys that I know. Merc itself also does not recommend it for engines. It also contains 17-22% ethanol and smells very very nasty. A lot of people in the area are selling this because it is cheap and one of the distributors is pushing it. They are advertising it as safe for engine even though Mercury the company who brands it does not recommend it.

Wanted to add some info that alot of people are coming in and asking. They are asking what to do about fuel and which are the better products.

You want to add a stabilzer like MDR Stor-N-Start or Stabil. Stabil is the better product because it has more addatives and lubricants in it to help lubricate seals and valves.

You also want to add Startron or E-zorb to combate that ethanol issue. Startron is a much better product even though The Fisherman magazine said it wasn't last year. If you notice in last weeks issue they recommended it again. E-zorb is an emulsifier and Startron is a enzyme. Enzymes work slower then emulsifiers but they will work and last much longer and are more effective. Plus engine manufatcures do not recommend adding emulsifiers to your fuel.

FYI Antifreeze and shrinkwrap both came down about 25% in price this year. Camco Freeze Ban -50 (the highest grade of -50 out there) is no at $3.49 per gallon vs. $4.49 last year.) Case price is $3.09 per gallon and the prices might still come down some.

We don't carry -60. Our -50 is actually better then most -60's on the market. We do carry -100 which is 60% PG. your cost is $5.79 per gallon.
