Boat reviews
Fortunately I can store mine on premises. Even then the winterize runs into a few bucks more on this V6 VP I/O as compared to my previous Chrysler 4 cyl 90Hp O/B.
After paying the local marine shop a 400 buck bill one time, I've done some things to help control that expense.
I winterize the engine and out drive myself.
Made a re-usable PVC cage to support the $20 HF HD (good for 2-3 years) tarp rather than a shrink wrap. Breaks down and stores in the shed when not in use.
The out drive exhaust is covered with a bucket (red) and the prop shaft with a window washer jug to keep water out.
Mine's a trailer boat and will incur cost to take where ever. That's probably my biggest cost since buying new in '08.
