When Should I Winterize My Boat?
As the weather continues to progressively drop a common question that we get is "when should I winterize my boat". While there are several different opinions on the topic, we recommend that you plan ahead rather than waiting until they forecast the first freeze. By scheduling your winterization in advance you can ensure that you beat the winterization rush and guarantee that you get your boat winterized in time. This not only helps us out by decreasing the amount of boats coming in at once, it also allows for you to have peace of mind knowing that your investment will be protected and ready for the freezing weather.
Why Do I Need To Winterize My Boat?
In order to protect your investment it is crucial that you properly winterize and store your boat during the winter months while the temperature is below freezing. Since boats use water to cool their powertrain components, they must be winterized to avoid freezing. The water often stays inside the engine and other components of the vessel which can expand and cause severe damage if it freezes. This is why we recommend properly winterizing your boat before every winter. By properly winterizing your boat you remove all of the water from the system and replace it with antifreeze. If your boat is equipped with integrated ballast pumps it is also extremely important to winterize your ballast system.
