My dealer's service department called today to confirm what I wanted for my winterization (even though I filled out a form a month before we hauled). We hauled at the end of October, and they haven't winterized the boat yet.
They told me they have stored the boat indoors so it is fine, but do I even need to have them do anything else at this point? I had already changed the oil and run antifreeze through the water system and through all of the faucets, etc. They were supposed to disconnect the batteries and drain the water out of the engines, which I couldn't do before they hauled because they had to run the boat over to the hoist.
Does it still make sense to have them do this? This is my first winter with indoor storage. We are planning to launch again April 1.
They also were supposed to soda blast the bottom and repair some blisters, and they didn't do that either. They had a problem with their contractor and don't know when they can get to it. The expectation was to have them strip the bottom and grind out the blisters so everything could dry out over the winter, then repair, barrier coat, and paint in the spring.
Thoughts?
