Winter Season and Your Boat: Ways to Winterize

This blog will talk about precise steps to winterizing a boat. Ice may cause damage to hatches and window tracks by accumulating. You should check the hull for cracks in the Gelcoat and stress fractures. During the winter months, disconnect all of your electrical appliances and allow them to rest peacefully.

Coat any exposed electrical connections with a moisture-displacing lubricant. Equipment, such as sinks and showers, should be injected with antifreeze to prevent freezing. Make that the waterline is protected when buying a boat cover. During the winter, engines are most vulnerable to fuel degradation and freezing. Maintain a dry engine by wiping out all outboard telltales and storing them upright.

However, we must caution you that missing a drain plug might cost you at least $2,000 in engine replacement costs. To avoid deterioration, you should not ignore the mooring and the boat’s condition for long periods.
