Hi everyone
First winter coming up owning a boat and have a few questions regarding proper keeping. I have done some digging around on this site and in my manuals but am more wondering how you keep your boats if your doing weekly/bi-weekly fishing/prawning trips.
Running a 20ft striper 200 merc verado.
Will be keeping it moored all winter in the marina slip. Apart from keeping leg in water to avoid freezing, running a unit heater in the cuddy, and draining raw/freshwater intakes and keeping a full gas tank what else would/do you do?
Do you recommend stabilizer if your still running it rather consistent? I feel like a lot of the "winterization" steps are based on storage for long periods of time.
I will be following up with my mechanic but also appreciate others advice and second opinions.
Cheers!!
