Can a winterized inbourd outboard be left in the water ?
My neighbor insists that he has been doing this for years without any
trouble.
He takes the boat out of the water. Winterizes it in his driveway. He
takes it to the boat ramp and pulls the boat back to his dock with a
small boat he has.
He does not like the trailered boat in his driveway.
His outdrive is partially submerged.Our inlet never freezes more than a
paper thin.

come spring he is the first guy on the bay around mid march !!

Whats your opinion ?

If the ice is not a concern, I don't see what the problem would be other
than the effects of weather.

As long as you don't run it after getting it full of antifreeze, I don't see
a real problem.
