About the Author

I've got my navigating license and VHF station certificate at age of 16. Since than I've spend all of my holidays at sea with my friends. I also began working as a skipper during my holidays in 2001. So far I’ve skippered several sailboats and power boats. The biggest was a Ferretti 530. Because of my good experiences I decided to share some of my adventures with you on my website.

Questions on winterizing my boat.?

I recently purchased an older 14' fiberglass boat. It has a 1959 Johnson super seahorse 35 hp motor. I was wondering aside from covering this boat what I should do to get it ready for winter. Also, does anyone know anything about this boat? Like what kind of speed I can expect from this set up ETC??? As you can guess I am new at this and would just like some basic information on it.

Put StaBil or SeaFoam in the gas tank before the last ride of the year.

Pull the gas line and run all the gas out of the engine.

When it comes out of the water pull the hull plug.

Pull the spark plugs out and spray fogging oil into the cylinders. Turn the engine over once to spread the oil.

Get the engine straight up and down to drain water and ready the engine for gear lube change. Drain the lower unit and refill with fresh gear lube.

Disconnect the battery and charge.

Enjoy the winter and dream about the water
