Request ServiceWinterization Services
When the boating season winds down, proper winterization is essential to protect your vessel from harsh winter conditions. Our certified technicians ensure your boat is ready to weather the off-season without damage.
How to Prepare Your Boat for Winter
Drain engine blocks, manifolds, exhaust systems, water pumps, any other areas that might contain water that will crack and freeze. Treat your fuel system with stabilizer & run engine to temp. Disconnect your battery; if there is not a battery, switch and tag steering wheel. Treat freshwater systems with non-toxic antifreeze.
The Importance of Boat Winterization
Winterizing your boat may seem like an extra expense or hassle, but it is crucial for maintaining the overall health and performance of your vessel. As temperatures drop, water in your boat’s engine and other systems can freeze, causing damage that could potentially be costly to repair.
At South Austin Marine, we take all necessary precautions to prevent any freezing or damage from occurring during winter. Our team will ensure that all fluids are drained from your boat’s systems, including the engine block, manifolds, and cooling system. We also use high-quality antifreeze solutions to further protect against freezing.
