PROPER WINTERIZATION GOES BEYOND FREEZE PROTECTION.
At Anchored Up Inboards, our winterization process helps protect your boat while giving us a closer look at its cooling system.
Treat the fuel system
We add marine fuel stabilizer and run the engine with a proper cooling-water supply to circulate treated fuel throughout the system, following the engine and stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions.
Drain and inspect
We thoroughly drain the raw-water cooling system and applicable accessories, including ballast, heaters, and showers. This also gives us an opportunity to inspect accessible components, including knock sensors, anodes, coolers, and strainers where equipped.
During draining, we check for sediment and corrosion debris that can obstruct drain openings or restrict cooling-water flow. Identifying these issues helps keep your cooling system working properly.
Protect against freezing and corrosion
We then use biodegradable, corrosion-inhibiting marine antifreeze rated for –75°F burst protection in applicable systems, following product and manufacturer requirements.
Make spring easier
For boats compatible with our process, no separate de-winterization service is needed. Complete your normal preseason checks, and you’re ready for the water! We also offer a spring startup service for added confidence before your first outing.
Protect your investment. Schedule your winterization with Anchored Up Inboards.
