Water left in an engine block or lower unit can freeze and crack it. Untreated fuel goes stale over winter. Winterizing prevents both.
Winterizing is usually done right before the wrap goes on, in the same visit.
What’s included
- Fuel stabilizer added and run through
- Engine fogged to protect cylinders
- Water drained from block and manifolds where applicable
- Lower unit oil checked
- Battery disconnected or removed
When you need it
- Your boat is coming out of the water for winter

Every property is different, so quotes are based on a few things:
- Outboard, inboard or sterndrive
- Number of engines
- Extra systems like freshwater or heads
- Done with or without shrink wrap

Engine winterizing — questions
Should I winterize before wrapping?
