Agreed with all the above.


$300.00 would be generous for a winterization, I would think. But
that's plenty.


The bill from the end of last summer shows $360 pts&lbr just for the
engine oil. I'm not sure we "winterize" in California. People seem to
boat year around.
The stern drive service was billed at $250 so perhaps there was more
to that service than oil change but oil and gaskets were the only
parts listed.

Robert, you're getting poked. or as JimH said, you're getting raped.

No, unless you live in N. Cal. winterizing shouldn't be a concern. But
at a reputable shop, a complete tune up including fluid changes I
would think should be less than $400.00.
