This year it may take longer due to I have to take the carb off to rebuild it over the winter I am also taking the sun pad off to get it recovered so maybe 5 hours this year.
Psycho, I only winterized this early due to my boat is outta action since Sept long weekend,having a tire blowout returning from a day of skiing . This resulted in a Blown tire, a bent rim, and a Mangled fender. There are pics in another post,somone else helped load up. I am going out skiing this weekend in return i will help ,friends /new boat owners,winterize there boat after that.
The damage to my boat/trailer was not too terrible other than the fact i need to order parts from Boatmate in Tennassee,which was Not gonna happen in time for me to get back out this season .So , i will take my time and get a colour matched fender and a proper replacement rim ,then pick up a tire locally. This can be done anytime between now and spring. Otherwise i'm out taking care of outside yard /house maintenance issues i've been putting off for the last couple years , Painting ,Deck repair etc.
