first year I'll have to spend $$$ to winterize my F32, about how much is it going to cost me to have the marina do the work?? thanks.

You can winterize it yourself...it's not rocket science.

You can winterize the engines, a/c sytem, the water tank and lines with a couple gallons of enviromentally approved coolants.

I stay on our boat almost every weekend throughout the year and dependant on off-season severity, will winterize the boat or keep the bildge at a temp where engines and other systems won't freeze and can be used. The water tank and lines get the winterization though.

I agree, this is work you can do yourself, but if you have a truckload of money your trying to get rid of, the marinas here charge 150.00 per engine, 90.00 for fresh water system, 80.00 per air conditioner, and 150.00 for the genset. materials extra. They also recommend an oil change at 125.00 per engine, plus materials. Im on lake Michigan, and I dont know how much different the prices are throughout the country, but to have a marina do it here, thats what you looking at. Hope this helps.

I have the storage facility winterize my engines at $75.00 each because they have a great system to do it and they are liable if it freezes. Every other system on the boat I do myself because I can do it pretty easy and for about $15.00 in materials.

thanks everyone!! i'll have the marina do the engines and do the rest myself. never done it before and if anyone has any info/checklists and how to winterize various systems, i'm all ears!!!

Yes, that would be great. Is there a checklist for this?

Wow, 3 year old thread, alive and well...

Take your pick.
