I just looked at the checklist for winterizing Yo Ho.

Here's what the dealer does:

Backs the rig into his fresh water yard tank, tests the engine for

proper
running, computer data, and linkage of steering, throttle and shift.
Engine still under warranty, so anything that pops up needing

attention
will be fixed automatically at no charge to me.

Chemically stabilizes fuel in tank.

Fogs internal engine parts with storage oil.

Replaces fuel filter.

Changes gear oil, lubes prop shaft

Changes oil and filter.

Lubes grease fittings on engine and other spots needing lube.

Replaces anodes.

Lubes through-hulls.

Removes batteries, stores indoors in heated workshop.

Washes boat.


That's for $145. Oil and filters, extra, but at reasonable prices.
I think that's a pretty damned good deal for a buck and a half, and

it's
all done properly and *I* don't have to do it.

Same service for an I/0 runs $175 (and obviously takes care of cooling
system), and for $250, the dealership also removes outdrive, lubes all
joints and gimbal bearings, runs a pressure check, and adjusts
engine-drive alignment.






That's a phenomenal price.


I agree. Hell, the anodes alone are probably worth $40.


Anything harry claims has to be taken with a large grain of salt.

Jim, is it because of all of the lies that YOU have told here about
others, that you don't believe anybody, and thus need verification?

Kevin,
The only person who has definitely lied about anything, you and your degree
from U of Penn, and Harry with his Yale Degree.
