Outboard and inboard winterizing

At our location or yours*

Cold weather is hard on engines. Water left in the wrong place can freeze and crack, and untreated fuel breaks down over the winter. Our winterizing service protects your motor so it starts clean when the ice goes out.

What we winterize

Every motor is different. We’ll recommend exactly what yours needs.

Lower unit

We drain and refill the gear oil and check it for water, a common early warning sign of a failing seal. Catching it in the fall is far cheaper than a lower unit repair in the spring.

Oil and spark plugs

Fresh engine oil and filter, new spark plugs, and fogging oil to coat the internal parts and prevent rust while the motor sits.

Spark plugs

Plug replacement and fogging for motors that don’t need an oil change.

Inboards

We drain the block and manifolds and protect the cooling system with marine antifreeze to prevent freeze damage.

Gas tank

Fuel stabilizer added and run through the system, so your fuel stays fresh and your carburetor or injectors stay clean.

Winterizing and shrink wrap together

Book your motor winterizing and shrink wrapping at the same time, and your boat is fully ready for winter in a single visit.
