Winterizing


 

It's about that time of year to get your boat winterized. We offer a professional service that you can trust.

Why bother with winterizing? 4 questions....

Do you want to rebuild or clean all the carburetors in the spring? Running Stabilizer through the fuel lines, squeeze bulb, fuel pump, and carburetors keeps the compounds in the gas from separating; which causes deposits that will plug the carburetors.

Do you want rust to form inside your engine that will shorten it's life by many years? Spraying or Injecting fogging oil into the engine coats all the 'steel parts' with a layer of WAX. This stops rust from forming inside the engine during the winter. The WAX is dissolved away by the gasoline while the engine is running in the spring time.

Do you want a new lower unit in the spring time, because yours had water in it that froze and cracked the housing? Draining and refilling the lower unit with new lube will get any water out, if it is there. Fresh lube will help make the gears and bearings last longer, you will be ready to go for spring time.

Do you want to buy a new engine block for your inboard or inboard-outboard? The water jackets in the block, cooling pumps, and exhaust manifolds must be drained and charged with RV antifreeze. This will keep them from freezing and cracking.

There are other problems that can occur during the winter months, but these are some of the most important issues to keep it running good.

I'm not trying to mislead you with the consequences of not getting your boat winterized....
This is the real deal, if you have a boat that you want to keep in running condition, it needs winterized.
