Sort of winterizing

[tomatolord]

Being here in the south, some winters days are nicer than others. <br /><br />Today it is 65 and sunny, so I could hit the lake, but maybe not again for another month..<br /><br />Looking for some opinions for not using the boat for a month or two at a time.<br /><br />Ok stabil is a given in the fuel.<br /><br />Battery on the trickle charger yes<br /><br />anything else??

Tom - You are doing all that is needed and not to worry if you don't use it for several months at a time. After all the folk who live up "north" have no choice unless they like chopping ice.

Leave the motor in a verticle position. I've seen lower units get rainwater in through the exhaust hole going through the prop. Then, freeze and split the lower unit in front of the prop.
