I have already winterized my boat....drive off, opened plugs, pulled hoses, filled with RV antifreeze but now I am looking to swap trailers to put on a new trailer I purchased. Do I need to rewinterize? We will not be starting the boat just popping in the water and then switching trailers.

Thanks!

Ayuh,.... Ya better put the drive back on, or she'll sink while yer swappin' wagons....

If ya don't run any fresh water through it, it'll still be fulla antifreeze....

Ayuh,.... Ya didn't say What motor, or drive either...

There is an outside chance, that a P/S cooler could refill by siphon feed,...
I donno if ya got 1, nor how it's lain out though...

Ya might check it, after the swap...
