I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.  I DRAINED MY ENGINE BLOCK

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.  I PUT A LIGHT IN MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.  I PUT A HEATER IN MY BILGE

I CAN'T BELEIVE IT.  I MY BOAT WAS IN THE GARAGE

STATEMENTS LIKE THESE WERE WERE WIDELY HEARD BACK IN 2021.  AND SINCE WE SAW SINGLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES AGAIN ON EAGLE MOUNTAIN LAKE LAST MONTH......THESE SAME DECLARATIONS WILL BE HEARD AGAIN SOON.

JUST LIKE IN 2021 WE ANTICIPATE A SHORTAGE OF MARINE ENGINE MANIFOLDS, ENGINE BLOCKS AND QUALIFIED MANPOWER.  SO IF YOU'RE NOT SURE YOUR BOAT WAS WINTERIZED CORRECTLY PLEASE CHECK IT SOON.  THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS GET YOUR BOAT OUT IN MAY AND FIND OUT THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON...YOUR MANIFOLDS-HEADS-BLOCK OR ALL FIVE MUST BE REPLACED.  IF YOU WAIT TILL MAY...and you have an issue....YOU WILL LIKELY BE HARD PRESSED TO USE YOUR BOAT BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER...DUE TO THE SHORTAGES ANTICIPATED ABOVE!

IF YOU DECIDE TO START YOUR ENGINE TO SEE IF YOU HAVE A CRACKED SOMETHING...PLEASE NOTE...YOU WILL LIKELY NEED TO LET THE ENGINE TO RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES AND POSSIBLY UNDER A LOAD.  THEN YOU WILL WANT TO WINTERIZE IT AGAIN BECAUSE WE HAVE LIKELY NOT HAD OUR LAST FREEZE THIS WINTER.
