Taking boat out

[Larry Anderson]

It will be near 60 here in the Memphis area on Sunday and gonna take the boat out. Question: If I run it for the day and restore it do I need to "rewinterize" again or will one run out on the water not be significant?



(The temps will drop again here soon)...Thanks...LA

If you mean will you have to fog the cylinders again I would say yes, unless you plan to use your boat at least every 3 or 4 weeks throughout the winter. Otherwise do what you would always do when freezing weather is forcast. That is tilt your motor all the way down at the ramp to drain all the water and pull the plug to make sure there is no water in the bilge area or live well. I also keep Stabil in the gas and keep the tank full this time of year. I think the weather in Memphis is similar to the weather here in Oklahoma City so you should be able to get out every few weeks. I never winterize my boat, just take the few precautions I mentioned.
