The Most important thing you can do to your boat is to have it Winterized! Neglecting this service will cause your engine block to crack, which will cost you thousands of dollars. Even if you do not winterize, there are many things your boat needs for any extended, non-use duration. I can’t emphasize the importance of this once a year service enough! DON’T CHANCE YOUR INVESTMENT TO MOTHER NATURE, in my experience- She always wins!

Only qualified individuals should perform winterizations. Your buddy/neighbor may get you in trouble. We find damage every spring.
