Winterizing Your Engine
Winterizing is one of the most import ant services your boat and engine requires in these northern climates;
the consequences of being unprepared can be costly in both time and money should your boat be affected by a freeze.
However, a spell of freezing weather is not the only concern. The damp of the Pacific Northwest plays a large part because of all the moisture we have here. Proper winterization protects your boat from rust, corrosion, unexpected motor failure and other dormancy related deterioration which can become expensive and downright inconvenient.
Howe Sound Marine offers a 24 point winterizing service for total protection of your boat engine, stern drive, domestic water system, batteries and electrical system. Some of those procedures are:
▪ Check the antifreeze level & condition
▪ Drain heat exchanger, manifolds & engine block
▪ Change stern-drive gear oil
▪ Change engine oil & filter
▪ Add fuel stabilizer
▪ Spray electrical fittings & the outer surfaces of the engine with corrosion guard
▪ Fog engine with storage seal
▪ Winterize domestic water system
▪ And much, much more
Do not underestimate the value of this service. Proper winterizing goes a long way to protecting your investment and reducing maintenance costs in the long term.
