02What does basic engine winterization include?
The standard scope prepares one engine for freezing temperatures. The exact steps depend on whether you have an outboard, I/O, or inboard, so the scope is confirmed for your engine configuration before work begins.
03Do I need to winterize the onboard systems too?
If your boat has ballast bags, livewells, a freshwater system, or a head and galley, water left in those lines and pumps can freeze and crack them. Each system is a separate line item so you only pay for what your boat has.
04What can change the final price?
Engine type and configuration, the number of systems, parts and materials, access to the boat, and travel. Starting prices are estimates — the final quote is confirmed with you before any work begins.
