Put your boat away yet?

[walleyecaber]

Put the boat away wow not yet the best walleye fishing is going on right now maybe by Feb. here in Winona but most likly not put the boat away Red Wing pool 4 is open year round and hour away.

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.

[Sandmannd]

Also a good time to re-pack the wheel bearings on the trailer.

Trust me, if I can learn to do this stuff anyone can. I'm a mental midget when it comes to mechanics.

I bought a second boat just for these cold days. Keep the ranger inside (unless it warms up-45plus) other wise my boat is always ready. I'll guide all year if the boat floats we're fishing.

Got an outboard 2-stroke - fogging the engine is the part I can never remember - probably because each person who has shown me or told me does something a bit different....or because I suffer from CRS (can't remember......). My boat goes away now and does not come out until at least April if not May. All I really recall clearly is to pull the plugs and spray some c-foam into each seating and replace. Beyond that all is blank....

I put mine away in early May,(racing season) getting ready to get her out next month for the fishing season. I'm just getting started. Got a few deer and birds to pursue yet, but then, look out walleyes.

I'm just doing my winterizing today. I'm gonna run a little stable into the motor then run it dry, Then i'll fog the carb and in the spark plug cylander. Does anyone know if i should replace the lower unit oil now, or in the spring? I was thinking now maybe (in case any water was mixed in) but don't really care to .

That's exactly why it is recommended to do it in the fall.

Yea, I had a feeling that was what the answer was after i read my own question (funny how that works). Well as long as I still get to go to the bar with the money i saved...Thanks. Puttin the boat away is not bitter sweet to me at all this year, I am ready for the ICE!

[wx_nut]

I just winterized it and she's going to be put away this afternoon. Until next year buddy!

[Tippman]

Yesterday for me

[tacklejunkie]

mine winterized and in garage

[Ed Carlson]

Ah heck no...I'll sweep out the leaves again and hit the river this weekend. Slip on my Vexilar Cold Snap gear, warm boots and hit the Red. Too many Walleye to be caught yet to hang-er-up.

[Jesse Drummer]

Just brought my two to storage today! I hung my head as I drove away but remembered that first ice is just around the corner!!! bring it on !

[Jeremy airjer W]

I'm winterizing tomorrow and bringing it to its winter home Sunday morning. Without a doubt this was the best summer of fishing for myself!!

[Jesse Drummer]

airjer, you must not of been fishing for walleye! lol

[Shack]

Doing it right now

With hunting and other irons in the fire, the boat is being put away, until March or April.

[Flaco651]

Boats not put away yet. I'm hoping to get out today in search of some big 'eyes. If not today, hopefully tomorrow.

[cjac]

I broke down and winterized the motor yesterday, packed it up with all the summer gear and took it to the storage location today.

It's a sad day......the garage looks empty.

Still some pheasant hunting to be done before 1st ice!

[Stratosman]

Not yet, two weeks of pounding the river eyes yet....Kinda depends on the forecast though, I hate pulling it to storage when there is snow and salt on the roads....

[chickeywing]

Had mine on the water yesterday. Water temp is 41 degrees. Plenty of time before ice up. It's way too nice having the lake to myself. I did run stabil in the gas and shot a dose of fogging oil down the carb before I pulled it out of the water...just in case. I do plan on getting out a couple more times.

Tarped mine today. In full-on winter mode now. Bring on the ice.

[Pickelfarmer]

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.

same story here!
