WINTERIZING QUESTION
 

SO IS IT BETTER TO STORE THE BOAT FOR THE WINTER WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS OR AN EMPTY TANK?

Re: WINTERIZING QUESTION
 

I've always understood you're supposed to store it with a full tank. However, I've also heard that this new gas doesn't store very well, so I'm not sure how to answer the question. I just thought I'd throw one more thing in the mix to consider...

Full tank where we are with Stabil added. BGO has the new E=10, where we are CY we just have good ole gasoline.

Or you could move to Florida and fish all year long!

Nope, just trying to tempt you to move to Florida Brother Willy!!!

Re: WINTERIZING QUESTION
 

I usually leave it 3/4 to full and add stabile. One benefit is that I can use the gas for my generator in case of an extended power outage.

Re: WINTERIZING QUESTION
 

The recomendation is to drain the tanks for the winter with the new gas.

I have a small amout of gas in my tank from test runs and will drain soon.

But I have never stored full before?? I have added stabil and thats it. Any water you might get will be so small that if you have a water sepratoe (wich you should) will take care of it!

THANKS BOYS, AS AIRSLOT SAID, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ETHANOL IN THIS STATE YET. SO LOOKS LIKE A FULL TANK WITH STABIL.

Heck Cy, that might be a good investment this year. I'd have to guess that prices will be higher in the spring, so you'll have a 60 gallon head start.

If there is a good day and the fishing is just red hot, drop me a line. It would only take me 40 minutes to meet you at the ramp. Have boat / will travel.

do you not winterize your Airslot?

and heck yeah, if its hot i will give you a call, if mine is still in the water, we can just use mine, and you would not have to drag yours up here.

Rock season is just around the corner ;D

Re: WINTERIZING QUESTION
 

Nope, I don't recognize the idea of winterizing. I use mine all year. Usually I take 6 weeks off involving all of February, and I run her on the muffs every couple weeks then. She stays locked and cocked all year. January is the best month for ocean rocks anyway.

I do the same as Slot - never winterized an outboard in my 8+ years of boating. She gets used quite a bit all winter long here in NC.
