I have never so winterized a boat being I lived in Texas and all have been garage kept. I have seen sticky thawed on mercury forum for what I need to do. Which it all makes sense. I have always stored my boat with the engine all the way down. I make sure after getting off lake as I prep trailer it is down to drain Cooling system.
My question. I now live in Missouri which have some cold winters. My boat will get to me in mid to late October, which means right after break in essentially I would have to "winterize it", which to me makes no sense other than a cold winter. It will be garage kept. Garage is finished(dry wall, insulation, house heating and cooling run to it). I can see my boat depending on how bad the winter is, sitting for 30-45 days. I have the water muffs. To run once in a while.
i will ask my dealer when I pick her up but I would like some advice from here also.
thanks
