Big Dave2 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 How many have not put their boat away for the winter yet? I put mine away a while ago and wish I would have waited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepman Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I haven't yet. I'm hoping to get a nice warm-up and get out at least a few more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishwater Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Not yet, I'm going out later today. I'll be out next week and during Thanksgiving week for sure. After that, hope to be on ice for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Put mine away last week but its always ready if we get a nice day.Problem around here this time of year is there usually arent any docks and the shoreline freezes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titelines Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Winterized mine 3 weeks ago. It was a beautiful day, so I had 2nd thoughts when I was doing it. Not a lot of good weekends since, so I think I made the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloyd4ever Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 winterized mine last wednesday, have it ready to go in case of a nice day, otherwise into storage next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Off Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Mine is empty of all gear and full of gas and Stabil....need to have it winterized - anyone have a recommendation in the north metro for decent job for decent $$$. Have had a couple people show me over the years but I can never remember how to do it completely 12 months later when I need to do it again....pitiful, I know! Too many things I need to remember to store that info I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhguide Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 mines still out and catching fish best time to fish is right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm actually contemplating not winterizing mine. If the fishing is bad on the ice, I might just have to go hit pool four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many things I need to remember to store that info I guess. Do you have an outboard? 2-stroke? All I do on mine is change the lower unit oil which is simple, and fog the motor which is simple also. I have never had any problems......yet.

ec30_06 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I never really winterize mine. It stays in the same stall of the garage all year, and I use it almost year round. Always open water on a river somewhere. The only time it doesn't get much use is when the permanant fish house is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wplatehunter Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yes I put it away last week before deer opener. There has not been one nice day around here after I put it away, so I'm glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Winterized mine away 3 days ago. For those of you that keep them out all winter or into December, aren't you afraid of water freezing in the lower unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCKJ Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Mine never gets winterized. Longest it sits is 2 months. Put away in Feb and back out in April.Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I am jealous of all of you with yours out. I have been a die hard duck hunter through all these years, but this year changed. Bought a place with my brother up by Pequot and have fished my butt off and loved it. I hunt anything that moves but have fished longer into the fall then I ever have. If the ducks aren't going to fly might at well fish. I also deer hunt and knew I wouldn't be back to the cabin until turkey day so it was put away after Halloween.
