How correctly to preserve a sport-boat for the winter?

Depends on your engine....what's your boat...what's your engine?

Sorry, I'm a Merc guy and know nothing about the Rotax. Perhaps someone else can help. You could also try doing a search on jetboating.net (oops...did I say that out loud? Sorry Kevinper! ). Lots of Rotax guys there and it's definitely been discussed.

If you check the Merc 240 EFI manual on page 1B-8 it will tell you some procedures to take to store you boat for long periods of time. This is the first year that I will be actually winterizing my doo myself too, so maybe someone else could be kind of enough to put the rundown of exactly what steps to follow.
