Re: Winterization In Florida........Yes or No?
Ok you live in Florida...... It sometimes get's below freezing temps and sometimes not......
As some have pointed out....water freezes at 31.999999 deg...... the block temp can get a few deg colder than the outside air...... the worst you can do is run your boat on muffs for a few min...... and so on!
So if you store your boat on land while not in use......
Do you have a TV...or weather radio.... and check the weather forecast?
Just pull the drain plugs on the motor and manifolds...and put the drive down to drain the water!...........Simple as that... It just takes a few min!
No need to worry about the anti-freeze deal and all!
Just me and my thought's.......I live in Cincinnat,Ohio and it freezes here.....so you winterize you boat for storage!
