Winterizing My New Tracker

[mercforever]

Sad day today,put the cover on the boat...gonna pay someone to winterize the motor but what should I do with the batteries,seats....boats going to be stored outside, I already took the deep cell out,do I have to charge it .... any input would be appreciated........

take as much stuff outta the boat as you can & cover 'er up as tight as you can - if your gonna pay someone to winterize, you mzy as well pay for shrink wrap too while your at at it.

 

Motors arent difficult to winterize your self, but again if its your first year, for warranty sake you can have someone "authorized" to do it. Maybe you can watch whomever do it & then you'll know how next yr.

 

Batteries - take all of em out, unhook your sonar units & bring em inside. Batteries - keep them off any cement floors & give a charge every two months untill you "spring-ize" your boat

 

im from an expert, its all i can offer to ya

hi merc,also put some fuel stabilizer in your tank and run it through your motor,and if its a 2stroke you have to fog it,but not a 4stroke,you can if you want to,but they told me its not manditory

Pour a little plumber antifreeze (pink stuff) in livewell to keep lines and pump from freeze up.
