Not Winterized... Lower your engine

It's going to get cold. Pull that plug out of the hull and lower your engine if it is not winterized. I am suprised with the number of boats I see from CT to Maine while traveling for my real job that are still tilted up...

Get that boat winterized and start working on next summers fishing gear!

Should lower it even if it is winterized.

Best regards,

Another tip, what I do is turn my shop vac on blow and give a shot through the flushing port.
I have had water freeze in the tube, sure fire way to ruin a winters day fishing trip
