Winter Storage

Post by striper192001 »

I will be storing my boat ( Crestliner Sportfish 195 Mercury Verado 150) in a heated storage place. Will it create any problems if I do the annual maintenance in the spring ?
I have a concern that heat could give out so this is what I plan to do:
drain and add RV antifreeze to livewells
Fill gas tank and add stabilizer

Any issues with doing the annual maintenance in the spring...probably only has 30 hours on this season.
Any help is appreciated.

maybe change the gear case oil or at least pull the drain plug and make sure there's no water in there.

Definitely do the gear case oil, don't just pull the plug because if there is ANY moisture in there it will start to rust.
