Seeley’s Marina: Winterization Services for Outboards

At Seeley’s Marina, we offer comprehensive winterization services to ensure your outboard engines and boats are fully protected during the off-season. Proper winterization helps prevent costly damage caused by freezing temperatures, moisture, and extended non-use. Whether you have a V6, V8, or an outboard kicker engine, we have the right winterization service to keep your boat in top condition for the next boating season.

Winterization Services We Offer:

1. Basic Winterization (V6 and V8 Carb Engines)

This service is designed for boats with V6 and V8 carburetor engines. It includes everything necessary to protect your engine and ensure smooth performance when you’re ready to hit the water again. Our Basic Winterization Service includes:

• Stabilize Fuel Tank with Mercury Quickstor: We add Mercury Quickstor fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation and engine starting problems.

• Engine Run-Up: We run the engine to circulate the stabilizer through the fuel system, ensuring proper lubrication of internal components.

• Fogging the Engine: We fog the engine to protect the cylinders, pistons, and internal parts from moisture and corrosion during the winter months.

• Drain Water from Cooling System: All water is drained from the engine’s cooling system to prevent freezing and possible damage to the engine.

• Courtesy Inspection: We perform a basic inspection of the boat and trailer, checking for any potential issues before storage.

2. Premium Winterization Service (Includes Antifreeze)

Our Premium Winterization Service offers a more comprehensive level of protection, including the addition of antifreeze to your engine’s cooling system. This service is ideal for ensuring complete protection during the winter months. It includes everything from our Basic Winterization Service, plus:

• Stabilize Fuel Tank with Mercury Quickstor: Just like the basic service, we stabilize the fuel tank to keep your fuel fresh and prevent engine issues.

• Engine Run-Up with Remote Fuel Tank Mix: We run the engine using a remote fuel tank mix to ensure complete protection and lubrication of all internal fuel components.

• Fog Engine: We fog the engine to coat internal components and prevent corrosion from moisture during storage.

3. Outboard Engine Winterization
