Should I Un Winterize The Boat?
« on: March 17, 2009, 09:08:18 PM »
hey guys, with the warm weather comming, you think itll be ok to get the boat running?  i cant wait any longer, its killing me. 

if for some reason the temperature drops in the morning, could anything get damaged if i already started up the boat?

I see no problem. I've already started dewinterizing some of my own boats [outboards]
 Temps are only on the rise now and if they dip it should not be much.

I will crank the engines this weekend.  If it gets cold, it shouldn't get cold enough or for long enough to make any problems.  The temps haven't been below freezing for a while now so all should be good.

Had my engine running 2 weeks ago, drained the antifreeze out of the tanks this past week end.


Should have no problem

With an outboard in the down position it will pretty much dump all the water out of it when it is shut down. Should present no problem.
