I winterized the boat engine and outdrive last year by myself last year. It
took almost a full day, including the time to purchase the supplies. I
obviously assumed all liability for a cracked engine block by doing so.

With that in mind I decided to let the pros do it this year as I did with my
larger boats in the past so I called around today for some prices. As I
store the boat on a trailer over the winter in a yard near my house I have
some flexibility on who can do the service. We are also changing marinas
next year (moving to one with a reputable mechanic staff, including the head
mechanic with 35 years of experience) so we have no loyalty to our present
marina.

I found a local place that has been in business for 25 years, fully insured,
that will change the oil and filter and the outdrive lower unit oil, lube
the OD, fog and pickle (winterize) the engine, all for $155. Quite a nice
deal.

So what are you going to pay/engine to winterize?

All day, what are you, some sort of moron????
