Headhunter Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 We did this last year, but I'm sure many have forgotten or were not here for this last year. Please post your cold weather/fall Quinte tips! Here's mine: As most will be wearing Floatation Suits, here's a tip. If your returning to the cabin for lunch, take your suit off and turn it inside out. Same for over night. You will be amazed at how much moisture builds up inside your suit, while you wear it. Can make for a very uncomfortable day on the water. Ok... your turn! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) - drain plug (good all-season advice) - gas line antifreeze / RV antifreeze for livewells & bildge - rain-ex on your windshield so you don't have to scrape in the morning (esp. handy on curved plastic windshields) - be gentle with your clear side curtains in the cold - don't spin on the ramp (brakes/put in gear/light throttle/ease off brakes) - don't wear cotton as a base layer - don't puke in your buddies new boat Edited November 12, 2008 by SlowPoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are running a tiller bring some goggles or your tears will freeze. If its raining it won't hurt your eyes.Poor man's side console Bring a bag of salt or sand to the launch if you don't have a 4 X 4 keep some metal traction aids in your vehicle. Well have a safe drive to the BOQ folks I am leaving at 0400 looking forward to meeting some new OFC members.
