Boat Winterization

Boat winterization is the process of preparing a boat for storage during non-use, winter months. This is critical because cold temperatures, freezing water, and lack of use can damage a boat’s engine, plumbing, and other systems. The winterization process typically involves draining water from the engine and plumbing systems, adding antifreeze to prevent any remaining water from freezing and expanding, and treating fuel to prevent it from deteriorating. Additionally, the boat should be thoroughly cleaned and covered to protect it from the elements. Proper winterization can also help extend the life of a boat and ensure it is ready for use when the weather warms up.
