I haven't even winterized my 185 yet but I'm already planning towards the future! Hopefully this weekend I will be winterizing the boat; fuel treatment, pink antifreeze using the flush bottle method, fog the motor, lower the outdrive for storage, remove the battery (and store on a tender), remove all of the life jackets, and cover. As for covering; is it okay to put a cover over the cockpit and bow tonneau covers? Or is there a risk of moisture building between the two and messing up the toneau covers?
So in the spring, what do I need to do to get her back on the water? Is it as simple as putting the muffs on and getting her cranked again? I'll probably do a full detail on it in the spring too; wash, polish, and wax along with cleaning out the bilge/engine area, and the storage compartments. It came with a couple of fenders that don't have any line on them so I'll do those too.
Having just purchased the boat back in July, It's only been on the water four times since I bought it. I had a fluid change done after my first time out on it. So I'm not planning on touching any of that since it's only seen three uses on the oil change.
Thank you!
