Winterization of the boat engine

Whatever the brand of your engine, the winterizing method is almost the same with a few small details. If you do not winterize the boat's engine and it stays in the water you have two solutions:

Start the engine at least once every 15 days to avoid corrosion attack. It must be started long enough for it to reach normal temperature and even a little longer. This can be provided as part of our boat maintenance packages
Winterize the engine completely and plan a spring start, contact us for a quote
