Wood Boat Winterizing

by Cap'n George

Does anyone know where I could find some informative material on how to winterize my 1962 30 foot Owens Empress Cruiser?

It has twin 283 engines and thru hull prop shafts and props but I'm not exactly sure how to do it.

You can reach me at macart@rogers.com

Thanks

Hi Cap'n,

There is some general winterizing information if you click here.

How are you planning to store her?

Will she be out of the water for the winter?

Under cover?

Whatever you do don’t even think about ‘shrink-wrapping’ her, in my opinion that is a stupid thing to even do to plastic boat.

Thanks Mike,
The boat will be stored out of water in a covered slip with no shrink wrap or tarps of anykind so it should be ok.

I checked that link you sent, thank you by the way but it has very little by way of info for my specific concerns regarding the winterizing of my V-8 engines but thanks anyway.

Regards,
