I just purchased a low hours 2018 Scarab 215 with twin 250’s. I winterized myself by treating fuel, dry running both engines for 10-15 seconds to blow water out and then hooked up a pressurized air line to the hose mounts near the jet nozzles to blow out remaining water. I live in Alabama so it will be warm again soon. Is there anything else I need to do?
Also - what are the 2 exhaust flush ports up near the swim platform?
Thanks for your time

The only other thing you may want to do (but I don't do it myself) is fogging the engine. But I find it unnecessary personally for the few months.

As was mentioned, some run antifreeze (plumbing kind) through the exhaust system instead of compressed air. The compressed air should be enough to clear it regardless and it is the official BRP procedure. But many (including me) run antifreeze through. If you run enough through, it's pretty guaranteed that you have no water left in there. But both methods achieve the same thing.

The 2 exhaust ports on the platform are for convenience. Especially handy for people that flush their exhausts frequently because of salt water boating.

And no, nothing else to do to winterize. The rest is maintenance, prevention, etc. Lots of other stuff that can be done to maintain your boat.
