I'm new to the San Francisco Bay Area, and was wondering if it will get cold enough here that I will need to winterize the boat.

I think I'm going to anyway, but if anyone else lives around here, let me know your thoughts!

Thanks.

My crystal ball indicates a hard freeze to hit the San Rafael area this winter some time.

My thoughts too.

And how did you know I was in San Rafael? Maybe there's more to my profile than what I can see!

Thanks, Graham

I live on Sonoma so I get a little colder than SR. I am going to change the oil, fog it, drain the water from the engine and I added fuel stabilzer today and ran it on muffs for about 10 minutes to circulate it. Better safe than sorry.

Crystal Ball.

All good marine techs have to have one. Being a moderator on the forum helps too. ;)
