Had our Challenger 180 in for it's 10 hours service right before the end of the season. After our last trip out we cleaned out the boat really good, and put some fuel stabilizer in for the winter. What do I need to do to get her ready for the season now?
 
Good to go!!!!!!

Nothing, put it in the water, go have fun.

That's such a big misconception. Because we actually have to take steps to winterize, people think there are steps to un-winterize.

Really, all your doing to winterize is lubricate the motor with a water dispersant oil. This protects it over a long period of time, since you won't be heating up the metal to dry up the moisture droplets. Then, you put a dab of antifreeze in teh exhaust system to keep it from freezing. When you start the motor, this will all be blown out.

You should not have to do anything special. I'd kinda take it easy for a little bit, make sure the water temperature has come up to par. That's about it...:cheers:
