what does a de-winterizing service include?

llamalord · « **Reply #251 on:** June 06, 2009, 16:43:44 »

I believe, it includes

Removing anti-freeze
oil change
Gas Refill
Bilge Drain
Trailer Systems Check

if you really want to know I can go find the paperwork from a few months ago.

ah was just wondering, we never winterize or de-winterize our boats, the mostly stay on water all year round, take them up every now and then to clean and paint them.

Cuz there its always warm...right?

llamalord · « **Reply #254 on:** June 06, 2009, 21:42:25 »

Wish I could say the same about Massachusetts

Certainly true of selsey & Chichester. It rarely gets below freezing around here, being right on the coast.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #256 on:** June 06, 2009, 22:31:44 »

Same here in Jersey, on the coast anyways up north in the MTs. its gets cold

TerryRussell · « **Reply #257 on:** June 06, 2009, 23:23:37 »

Ah, my wife is from Edison, NJ. She tells me of very cold winters and very hot summers.

But here, it is wet, mild and windy all year round.

Master Captain · « **Reply #258 on:** June 07, 2009, 00:30:41 »

nah it gets plenty cold in the NYC region just not as cold because its on the water, where i live it gets plenty cold

summers are decent usually upper 70s to 80s most of the time, sometimes in the 90s or more on hot days

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #259 on:** June 07, 2009, 14:59:31 »

Master Captain · « **Reply #269 on:** June 23, 2009, 23:02:03 »

hmm it seems i've killed this topic

Anyway, i went boating for the first time this season and as always something interesting happening, while throttleing up the engine decided it didn't like that and coughed farted snorted and stalled, after several failed attempts to start it again, it finally ran and was fine the rest of the day, only other issue I broke my sunglasses

Heres a few pictures from the trip. I made a video but its so short it wasn't worth uploading. Anyone else have interesting encounters?

Pic 3 is the master captain himself
