Now that winter is here there are a few things that need to be done for your boat. (Winterizing) The boat if not used or lived on needs to have any working parts exposed to water, should have antifreeze flushed through the systems to prevent damage. examples of the systems I’m writing about all raw water systems, fresh water tanks, septic holding system. All water in the lines needs to be flushed out and replaced with antifreeze. The fuel system either needs to be emptied or filled, this prevents water and condensation from building in the tank. Batteries need to be removed to prevent damage from the cell freezing.
Now that this is all done and your ready to call it quits remember to cover the boat keep all outside elements and materials out of the boat . Ok your done for now but in less than 4 months you’ll be undoing what you did to get out and be on the water again, either fishing, skiing, or just cruising around it’ll be time to get the boat ready for the water.
