    by: News Canada (NC) —If you're a sailor, there are few things as precious as your boat. Power or sail, whatever the size, your boat is your escape, your refuge, your palace. Below are a few tips on protecting that refuge from old man winter.

    Boat In the Water

    • Fill fuel tanks, add stabilizer.

    • Change engine oil and filters, always using brand name products from known marine specialists, like Castrol.

    • Winterize head, holding tank and fresh water system by draining or filling with non-toxic anti-freeze.

    • Winterize any other water using equipment.

    • Remove electronics, antennas and couplers. Spray and tape exposed cables.

    • Service cradle if necessary.

    Boat On Dry Land

    • Lubricate or grease all systems requiring such.

    • Pump bilges completely dry, rinse with cleaner, empty again.

    • Charge batteries fully. Disconnect if leaving on boat.

    • Winterize engine and cooling system. Drain all water from engine block and any stern drives. Replace with storage antifreeze.

    • Clean fridge and/or ice box thoroughly.

    • Use mildewcide or anti-fungus products liberally.

    • Leave lockers and hatches open where possible. Leave bilge access open.

    • Be sure the entire boat has access to plenty of fresh air.

    • And if you're really gung-ho, you can do all that important exterior stuff like varnishing and washing the hull.

    A wealth of interesting and valuable information on motor oils and lubricants can be found at www.castrolcanada.com or other well known petroleum web sites.
