WINTERIZATION AND STORAGE SERVICES
Winterization - What is it?
The process of preparing your boat for the winter season when it will be out of the water and not in use for an extended period. Proper winterization helps protect your boat's engine, systems, and components from potential damage caused by freezing temperatures and the effects of inactivity.
Engine Preparation
The engine needs to be properly flushed, drained, and filled with antifreeze to prevent water from freezing and damaging the internal components. Fuel stabilizer should also be added to the fuel tank to prevent fuel degradation.
Fluid Systems
Drain and refill all fluid systems, including the coolant, oil, and gear lube, following the manufacturer's guidelines. This helps remove any water or contaminants that may cause damage during freezing temperatures.
Batteries
Disconnect and remove all electrical loads from batteries. Electrical systems have small parasitic loads even when turned off and can drain a battery even when not in use.
Water Systems
Drain all water from the boat's plumbing system. Add antifreeze to prevent any remaining water from freezing and causing damage.
Covering
Finally, cover the boat with a sturdy, breathable boat cover to protect it from dust, moisture, and UV rays. Ensure the cover is properly secured to prevent wind damage.
