winterise

[MOBass]

Here is what I go through to put my rig away for the winter. Wash and wax both boat and trailer and Armor All the tires while you still have a touch of fair weather. Add fuel stabilizer to the tank and make sure it is topped off. Fog the motor and change gear lube. Make sure you have a quality charger for your batteries and the fluid is topped off. I prefer a good on board charger because I am lazy. Make sure everything is good and dry, cover it all up and give it a good night kiss. Come spring I replace spark plugs, pull the prop and grease the shaft, and hit all the lube points on the motor and steering system. Most important in the spring is to have a good motor flusher. I like to start the motor the first time at the house to save the grief of getting to the lake and finding a problem on the first trip.
