Should I change the oil in my engine when I winterize or can it wait until next season? Thanks.
 
I agree it is best to change the oil and filter at the end of the season. Not only is it recommended by engine manufacturers, but it's one less thing to do in the spring.
 
It's January 3, why have you waited so long to think about winterizing? Where do you boat? What type of motor do you have?
 
I winterized in November But still havent had any real cold weather here in NC I sure hope he isnt North of me
 
If I wanted to waste money on something, what would be the best product to consider?
 
It's a pretty good bet that we won't hear from "whaler" on this thread again...

It's supposed to be 65 degrees in the NY area on Saturday. He may have made the wisest choice.

Agreed - I am VERY disappointed that I winterized already this year. I am somewhat seriously considering putting it back in the water - especially since I am hearing rumors that the tuna are still around.
 
How do you know where he boats? He has absolutely no information in his profile.

Plus, he is a spammer, who was one in the same with eastbay2121 who only got on this site to promote some stupid, crappy mooring system he is trying to sell.

I don't, nor do I care - I was just venting that the weather is in the 60's here and I am staring at my shrink wrapped boat.
 
OK, I can empathize with that. BTW, how about filling in some info in your profile, and list your home port?
 
Change it when you winterize, so that any moisture that may have accumulated during the season will be removed for its long winter nap.

Thats a loaded question. Most of my money I've spent on women and boats, the rest I just wasted.
 
Change the oil. This will remove byproducts such as acids from the system otherwise it sit there all winter.
