    advice for first winter in PNW

    So if I'm understanding Michael (Seymour) and you . . , Because the fresh water doesn't completely drain from the engines after flushing, if the engines are trimmed up and it freezes, then there is the risk of problems from expansion. When the temps get near freezing, leaving the lower units...

    advice for first winter in PNW

    I'm essentially retired, so in my first PNW winter I'm hoping conditions will allow me to take the boat out at least weekly. If that turns out not to be the case, then I may have to find dry stack somewhere. Appreciate the tips so far.

    advice for first winter in PNW

    All good suggestions, thanks. The boat is a new 2025 -- just took delivery in late July -- almost 70 miles on twin Yamaha 200s. (Based on how I watched my Dad age, I'm guessing I'll have 10-12 or so good years of vigor left, and then I'll be year-to-year before selling the boat, in as good a...

    advice for first winter in PNW

    I'll be asking the dealer but I'd appreciate advice here. I plan to leave the Gulfstream in the water year round, and I don't know what the Puget Sound weather will be like from now until March or so. The bottom is painted and I hope to keep the tank pretty full, with ethanol-free gas. I...

    Seaspension install on a 228

    Just saw this thread for the first time. Very admirable, and inspirational -- makes me rethink whether my biggest problems even matter that much. It's more than an attitude, it's your character -- your will makes you a lucky dude indeed.

    Boat Trip: Clarksville, TN to Huntsville, AL. Trip Complete!

    I'll enjoy coming along with you as you upload your pics. Just south of Savannah on the Tennessee River, I found the Shiloh battlefield memorial park to be well-preserved and moving. I had only a couple hours but could have spent the day there and still missed a lot. If you brought bass...
