Boat Winterization

[Joel]

Just finished winterization      I'm getting too old for this crap!   Why cant it be summer ALL THE TIME?

Topped off the fuel & added a bottle of StaBil, ran her up to temp (hopefully sucked up some StaBil into the system), sucked up two gallons of antifreeze (till it spewed out green from the exhaust), changed the oil with Mobil 1 full synthetic 10W30, removed the impeller (its shot - probably tore it during my futile attempt to remove it), fogged each cylinder & changed spark plugs (irridium tipped - whatever that means).  Renee picked up the plugs for me...  Over $6 each...  She asked "is that expensive?  Because I know you only want the best for your STUPID boat..."  Gotta love her   

Ready for a long winter nap...   Spring will be here shortly!!!!  Ron, I'm gonna need an impeller before May

Gotcha covered Joel, BTW, I have to wake up the rescue boat, youngest son David is completing his tour in the Middle East & should be home in 2 weeks & wants to go skiing, we are down to the mid 80's  here

Have I ever mentioned that I hate you guys...   

We had to stop over a month ago!  Not my choice but the wife & kids REFUSE to go out on the lake when the air gets chilly...  Its the BEST time to ski because all the freakin' yahoos arent there...  Anyway, ya'all have a great time skiing in the warm weather!

Tell your boy I said "Thank you for your service!  Now go ski your ass off... thats an order!!!"

ok it was 30 degrees here last night ............the water in your engine will not freeze with one night @ 30 degrees when day temps are 50+

we would need several days under 30 to be concerned , enjoy the  October glass
