Answer 1

What kind of list is that ?  LMAO

Do it yourself. if  it has a carburetor - buy some spray to fog add stabil to fuel go to auto store they will tell you spray types.

tilt trailer up so it leans toward back and cover.

Most of that stuff the other uy listed should be checked periodically all year long.

Oh if you are keeping the ski in a heated garage no winterizing is required.

We charge $139.  Are you in an area where you need to drain the water and pull the freeze plugs?  

Exterior



  1. Thoroughly wash the motor and boat hull removing all stains, dirt or debris.  

  2. Cover the boat and painted motor surfaces with a fresh coating of wax.  

  3. Cover boat with a high-quality, breathable cover.  

  4. Remove the propeller and check thoroughly for damage. (Now is the time to replace or service a damaged propeller, NOT at the start of the next season.)  

  5. Clean the propeller shaft and apply a protective coating of grease.  

  6. If your boat is kept in the water, install a de-icing device.  

Interior



  7. Install a dehumidifier in cabins and enclosed areas to help prevent mildew growth.  

  8. Make sure bilges are clean and dry.  

  9. Remove bilge drain plug and make a note of where you have placed it. Consider attaching the plug to the steering wheel or other conspicuous location with a piece of string so you don’t forget to reinstall it in the spring.  

Electrical



  10. Inspect and repair all electrical wiring and connections. Make sure nothing was damaged during the season’s use.  

  11. Remove boat batteries and store in a cool dry place. Place batteries on a smart charger or charge them approximately once a month.  

Engine

  13. Change oil filters.  

  14. Flush the engine with fresh water and drain.  

  15. Circulate antifreeze through engine block and manifolds.  

  16. Drain vapor separator tank of fuel by drain s***w (Fuel Injected Motors).

  19. Fog the engine by spraying fogging fluid into each of the carburetors or throttle body throats.  

  20. Remove hoses from raw water pump.  

  21. Replace spark plugs and spray fogging fluid into spark plug ports.  

  22. Perform a complete lubrication service on the boat and motor.  

  23. Apply grease to all external engine fittings.  

  24. Apply protective anti-corrosion film to engine’s external parts.  

  25. Check the motor for loose, broken or missing fasteners. Tighten fasteners and make necessary repairs.  

Fuel Systems



  26. Fill permanently installed fuel tanks with fuel to prevent the formation of condensation.  

  27. Add appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to fuel tanks.  

  28. Remove portable fuel tanks to safe, well-ventilated area. Drain plastic tanks and top-off metal tanks. Drain attached fuel lines.  

Boat Trailer
