Does it matter if it has no time on it or it just a matter of it being cold ? David "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... David Ditch wrote: For a new boat with 1 hour on the engine, does it need winterizing? David If you have winter, it does. Do you have winter? -- Email sent to is never read. |

Ice can be very expensive. :o( Does it matter if it has no time on it or it just a matter of it being cold ? David "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

Have the engine (and the rest of the boat systems) professionally winterized before you incur some serious freeze damage. |

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.

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. Capt. Frank USCG-A http://www.home.earthlink.net/~aartworks David Ditch wrote: For a new boat with 1 hour on the engine, does it need winterizing? David |
