Boat Storage and Fuel

[JERSATX]

Need a little advice. I have a 2000 Sea-Pro SV1900CC. In a few weeks I'll be going in and having some surgery done on my neck that'll put me out of commission for about 3-4 months. In the meantime, my boat will be sitting in a storage building. Can anyone suggest anything that I can do to ensure it stays in decent shape while just sitting? Currently, it has about 3/4 tank of fuel and I just waxed it this past weekend. Any lubricating suggestions or preservation suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.<br /><br />JR<br />San Antonio, Texas

Funny you say that considering I'm actually having neck surgery. Anyway, no I'm not real familiar with "winterizing". This is my first boat actually. Well, my first "real" boat anyway. Any suggestions on any specific products to use? I appreciate the advice and help. Good fishin'.<br /><br />John<br />San Antonio, Texas

That pretty much answered all my questions. I appreciate all the help. Good luck and good fishing. I'll be going out this weekend one last time before my lay-up for some striper fishing on Lake Buchanan up in the hill country here in Texas. Wish me luck. I'll get all the "winterizing" taken care of after that. Again I appreciate all the advice. Take care and be safe.
