Supposed to be in the upper 70's here this weekend. My daughter has a horse show...My wife already said I could miss it and go boating.

I don't really have to winterize anyway. At least I don't think I do? Is "winterizing" mainly for areas that go into a deep freeze over winter?

I bought my boat from a guy who kept the boat in "heated" storage.


Did I mention the block and both heads were cracked when I bought it?



It's cheap insurance. I keep my boat here at work. The plant never drops below 55 degrees, I still winterize.

So all you do is drain the block and plug into a block heater? Even in 55degree temps?

I dropped the "r"

I warm up the engine, remove the block drain plugs, remove the intake hose from the raw water pump. I have a 5 gallon bucket with a hose on it which I hook up to the pump. I put antifreeze (50/50) in the bucket and run the engine until the bucket is dry. The Fresh air exhaust makes it easy to collect any antifreeze that makes it's way through the engine. I drain the antifreeze in the spring.

Everyone has a little different procedure.

Up to now, my winterizing procedure has been to drop off at the dealer and tell him to do it.

Considering my severe annoyance with the new dealer, I'm thinking that I need to learn how to handle the boat maintenance myself.

Actually, that's probably a good thing, as well as cheaper.

If you use the pink RV/Marine antifreeze, no need to drain and just run it in straight, no mix.

I have a minor form of OCD and I'm pulling my hair out over the mess in my boat from this stereo install...

Just give a halla, we're here to help.
