ENGINE
The engine winterization shall be carried out by a professional. Depending on the boat location,
afloat or ashore, winterization is different.
Here are a few major tasks to carry out:
Afloat
- Drain the cooling system and fill it with antifreeze.
- Shut off the battery switches, grease the terminals and check the battery voltage.
- Change the anode.
- Fill the fuel tanks to a maximum in order to avoid condensation.
- Please refe to the engine manual for anything relating to the engine.
Ashore
- Take the batteries ashore and keep them on maintenance charge.
- Drain all the cooling, exhaust, oil and fuel systems.
- Carry out the winterization operations specified by the manufacturer, keeping in mind that
the freeze hazard is more significant when the boat is ashore.
- Remove and lubricate the thru-hull fittings with valves of the cooling systems, leave them
open and check the hoses.
- Slacken the a.c. generator and pump belts.
