You might want to do your tune-up with new gas, not that left in tank over the winter

Here is the list of things I do each spring to get the boat ready. All that I can think of though.
1. Pull the cover off and give it a good wash and wax. 2. Clean the interior. 3. 303 the Interior 4. Put the impeller back in. 5. Check, condition and tighten the belts 6. Check oil and transmission levels 7. Drain Antifreeze 8. Put charged battery back in 9. Run with fake a lake check for leaks and make sure everything is running good. 10. Clean and oil Teak Swim Deck 11. Check trailer bearings. 12. Check trailer and boat lights. |

Jerry, Beyond what the others have stated above, there is winterization and recommissioning section in the 99 Sport/Air Nautique owners manual in the reference section of this site. Section 8.13 is where to start. Hope this helps. -Brad |

it's a good idea to check the condition of the impellar, some leave it in all winter, check the belts, adjust as needed. Also it's a good time to check and adjust the rpm, timing, inspect the plug, rotor cap. Most will do a tune-up at the begining of the season and then they will change the oil and filter when it was winterized. It's not a bad Idea to replace the spark plugs also.

Tim, Is that why I have dead fish around the boat house the day after I get the boats going?? No, I switched to the RV years ago!!! Very good point though. |

Pete, it may have been winterized with conventional antifreeze/coolant- which would need to be drained, rather than emptied into the lake or driveway.
Other than that, youre right- summerization doesnt really consist of much. It all depends on how it was winterized. |

Jerry, Hopefully the boat has been winterized properly. Check that all the drain plugs are in place, then just hook up the battery (charged), check the oil and trans level then turn the key! It really isn't much but some of the marina's really push the "summerization". It must be a real money maker for them and I do know people who fall for the scam!
