    That SUCKS, I have never winterized mine so far. Use it too much through the winter.

    No winterization here.

    I did have to de-ice and de-salt the trailer last year a couple times. Does that count????

    I can only wish I was far enough south to use it all winter I am 30 miles from the michigan boarder and when it gets cold up here the water gets hard in a hurry.
    besides I dont like scraping my truck windsheild in the morning and the boat is in the garage were the truck is sposed to go. I store the boat at our house at manitou

    Winterize??? What the He** is that, breaking ice off the trolling motor bracket so you can stow the TM before moving? Or is that idling in reverse to fill your livewells through the overflow hole because your pumps are frozen? Or putting gloves, stocking caps, etc in the glovebox for those days when needed.

    good thinking, even if you are from TN, I use to just keep a bucket, but theres a tip for the month, might move that over to the tip board, could win some free chit

    I learned that trick fishing a BFL tournament on Lake of the Ozarks when the high temp for the day only made it to 20!

    Re: well just called and made the dreaded appointment !!!!!!!! (pikeman_66)

    A buddy of mine asked me the other day when I was going to have my boat winterized and I told him to never insult me like that again. I feel for those who have to have that done. That's why I will never live further north than where I live now. We should have a moment of silence for the winterized ones.
