Winterize

Don't forget to winterize!  Winterizing is very important on both outboards and inboards.  With outboards, the main reason to winterize is to get the roller bearings coated so they don't rust.  Rusted roller bearings do not roll, so they skid across the bearing surface.  This friction causes engine failure.  On Inboards and I/O's, the critical factor is block freezing.  Frozen blocks lead to cracked blocks which leads to very expensive engine replacements.  Throw in the crappy fuels we buy today and you can have a costly repair bill at the beginning of the season next year.  The saying "pay a little now or alot later" comes to mind.

Make an appointment now and beat the rush before we have freezing temps in the forecast!
