The fuel system is stabilized with a quality fuel treatment to prevent degradation and varnish buildup in the carburetor or fuel injection system over the winter months. The lower unit gear lube is drained, inspected for water contamination, and replaced with fresh lubricant. The battery is inspected, load tested, and either charged and stored properly or replaced if it is no longer holding a reliable charge. All grease fittings, cables, and steering components are lubricated to prevent seizing over the winter. We also inspect the hull, bilge, and through-hulls, drain all remaining water from the bilge and live wells, and conduct a full visual inspection of the boat before it goes into storage.
