btw: is dewinterizing a scam?

Typical "dewinterizing":

1. Remove winter cover (if any)

2. Reinstall/charge batteries

3. Check engine/transmission fluids

4. Flush fresh water tank (if any)

5. Wash boat

If the boatyard did all or most of that at typical boatyard labor
rates, you did OK, no scam in my opinion.

On the other hand that's all stuff that anyone can easily do
themselves with a small amount of work.

What is your priority, time or money?


Back when I lived up north and had a boat with an I/O, there was a bag
of plugs that also had to be replaced in, or around, the engine. I
don't remember the exact locations, or the number of plugs, but that bag
was taped to the steering wheel every year.
