Thread: How do you Winterize your Boat?

    Just put the I/O, V-drive and the pop-up down for winter. Drained the Heat exchanger and lower unit in the I/O, made sure anti-freeze was good in radiator. The V-drive got a trash can mixed with anti freeze in it and ran until it came out the exhaust. Pop-up gets plumbing drained and filled with potable system antifreeze. Then everything gets cleaned, covered and sit until next year. How do you winterize your v-drive. Anyone else do it with a bucket and anti-freeze?

    Yes run the motor until the pink shit comes out of the exhaust. Drain the line to the headers. Blow out the water in the line to the trany and v-drive cooler. Drain the bowls of the the carb's. Put in some stableizer in the gas tanks. And pray you did it right and for spring

    I make sure mine is in the garage just in case we get one of those huge california storms, you know the kind the wind gets really fierce and blows over lawn chairs and stuff. We also get a ton of rain, sometimes 2 inches in 24 hours. I think thats all that needs to be done. By the way, when is winter? I remember boating in december last year.

    I'll be taking the batteries home with me after the next trip.
    Other than that, I'll be installing more stereo stuff, does that count??? :idea:
