If you have winter, it does. Do you have winter?

Does it matter if it has no time on it or it just a matter of it being cold

As soon as you run it even for a minute, any & all anti-freeze will be
replaced with raw water, which will then stay in the cooling system to
freeze & do damage. So it will need a full winterisation.

Yup. If you can afford it, have your dealer winterize it. If not,
follow the draining and winterizing procedures in your manual. Don't
miss a step.

Ice can be very expensive. (

=================================================

David, with all due respect the question speaks volumes about your
inexperience. Have the engine (and the rest of the boat systems)
professionally winterized before you incur some serious freeze damage.

Thats why I'm here to ask

Thanks

David

Hi David.

Your new boat needs more care then a bit older model because the engine
is not "broken in." If you will post technical specs, I would be happy
to send you some pointers.

You may find some useful info on my website.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Boats professionally winterized and
shrinkwrapped.
