Take care of your boat, here is how!


Do not:

· Count on a heater and go without winterizing your boat



· Take your boat to a guy you found in a ad with no credentials or business



· Do not wait till first freeze to get boat winterized



· Leave your boat exposed to the rain



· Close boat up and not open it from time to time to vent (With Dry-Z-Air in boat only needed about monthly)



· Store your boat with less than full tank of gas



· Leave towels, jackets, or anything that can hold moisture in the boat

Things to do:



· Make sure boat tank is filled but not topped off!



· Be sure to Get your boat Winterized



· Charge battery



· Put drive down



· Un plug your battery take battery inside



· Open all compartments in boat (glove box, bow seats, cuddy seats, gap engine compartment).



· Remove all items from boat including life jackets that keep moisture in them.



· Put Dry-Z-Air in bow and towards stern check monthly if not more.



· Cover boat with canvas



· If you need tent pole they are for available to order, or make them with a 2x4 middle adjusted to height so cover is tented, nail plywood square at bottom and Frisbee nailed at top.



· Then place a tarp on top of whole boat and snug down with bungee's



· Remember snow is heavy and will break down your canvas, clean off snow, each time it snows.



· Winter is the time to save on large projects, go to the coupon page for big savings.



· If you have a Buff-N-Wax done in the winter, then be sure to take advantage of our $50. Once around in the spring.



· In spring call for our Drive in - Drive out de-winterize!



What is nice about doing these winter task is, when spring cleaning gets here your boat should be in fairly good order. But then there is a lot of inspecting, checking and conditioning needed so keep a eye out for Spring to do’s!
