Re: So....when do you put your boat away for the winter?
 

The meteorologist are calling for 90° tomorrow down here. I guess that has not happened in the past 5 yrs. (90° after Sept 29).
I kinda want to take the 250 out tomorrow an run the fuel out of it. I can do the winterization Tues.
PS... I got a roll of 14'x128' 7mil shrink wrap. I wrapped the SC21 the other day. Not bad for my first go at it and doing it without help.

Usually early to mid November-- Depends when I can get to the "winterization"!

I have been travelling out of the country for the past 3 weeks, but its still beautiful here -- I could've easily been boating. I have been kneeboarding without a wetsuit in mid-October once or twice. Looks like that could be possible this year, but the winterization is set up for a week from tomorrow :( .

Maybe I'll cancel the appointment and just go boating that day instead:wink_thumbup:

Harbor Hop tomorrow, then winterizing on Sunday. Always sad when the pink stuff comes out but it was a great season.

Re: So....when do you put your boat away for the winter?
 

Need to get going on mine here in GA. I was actually looking for info by searching "winterizing" but didn't come up with much except threads like this one. Do we have a "sticky" on it somewhere? I need to get off my butt and contribute to get access to more info. I have some work I want to get done this winter!

Re: So....when do you put your boat away for the winter?
 

There are many ways and many more opinions on those ways. :rolling_laugh:

Here is a good example of the basics for you to see.:)

Search "winterize boat" , you'll find lots of threads.:wink_thumbup:

Re: So....when do you put your boat away for the winter?
 

so that one tutorial said they drain the antifreeze back out... I left mine in, figured the more surface covered by it, the less surface to rust! what are your thoughts. Also - did not have time to find fogging spray. Any suggestions? can I spray wd40 in the cylinders thru the plug holes? Still need to do the tune up and rebuild the carb. I thought about pulling the carb to rebuild it inside and sealing up the intake to keep moisture out? Do you guys seal your intake or exhaust in any way over the winter?
