Anyone else drystacking?
Awaiting the delivery of our new SR 280 and will be drystacking it (saltwater).
How do I make absolute sure the engines are being flushed (twin I/O) and the exterior rinsed before they put the boat up? Should I just wait around until they lift the boat and watch everytime? It has FWC but i still want to flush. I would do it myself when back at the marina but they have to start the boat again to bring it to the lift spot anyway?
Thanks
 
Yeah, always a good idea to watch, or give the kids ten bucks as you leave. Then have a boating neighbour watch to see if they really did flush it after you left. <gg>

If it is a good kid, the motors will be flushed and you have no worries. Tip him well at the end of the season and thank him for doing a great job. It all depends on the forklift driver.
 
Ha! With my first boat, I tipped the guy $20 the first time he handled my boat. He quit and I never saw him again!!!! On well.........

This was always the way it worked for me. When the boat was first taken from the water it was placed on a wash rack. There the owner cleaned, removed personal belongings and did whatever he wanted/needed to do to the boat. Most people flushed the propulsion system and washed down the boat.

From Time to time ill stick around and grab a drink and the marinas bait shop or tiki bar and wathen them. Mine are pretty honest and alway flust well and hose off the hull. they will also rinse out the inside if its dirty.
 
Get an engine flush system like Neutra Salt. You can flush the engines youself in 45 seconds with the press of a button. I don't think the wash boyz will cheat you on washing the outdrive with soap water, but that's easy to tell. Just look at them when you go back. I use Nautical Ease outdrive cleaner even after washing with soap.
