Winterized, now what?

[buhuskies]

I know it's a dumb question but where better to get a quick solid answer then right here.

I had my Sea Ray 185 Sport winterized by my dealer but what do I have to do to it to put it back in the water now?

If I recall, they had changed the oil and put in anti freeze and I myself made sure it had Stibile fuel preservative in for the last tank of gas. Aside from checking the battery and making sure she starts and runs, anything else to de-winterize for use?

Sometimes they don't put the engine block plugs back in - that way you have to bring it back to them to have the plugs put back in! For $$.

Other wise you should be ready to go.

Thanks guys. Called my dealer and he said I just needed to run the engine and to flush out the anti freeze (after the thermostat opens up). Wasn't sure if I needed to do another oil change, but apparently not. Now we just need some decent weather!
