When do you winterize your boat in NC and can you store in your yard ?

When do you winterize your boat in NC and heard some doesn’t all winter cause of many random good days . If I can you store it in my yard that isn’t 100 % leveled ?

I cut a piece of garden hose and with the motor running dump in a gallon of RV antifreeze in each motor using a funnel through the flush port. I winterize mine around November. If I pull it out during the offseason it only takes a minute to dump some more antifreeze in there. You don't really have to do it, but it's so cheap, why not.

So you don’t fog and all that

I'll boat into November depending on the weather. Winterization....rev the engines, stabil in the gas, and damp rid in compartments - easy.

Yard storage on unlevel ground would be fine as long as its stern down hill so water drains.

Nope sure don't. I don't let my boat sit for 4-6+ months. If I did that I might be concerned with fogging. That would be annoying to redo all of that the 2-3 times I pull it out during winter.

I haven't done fogging in the couple of winters I've had mine, either. I blow water out of the engine, make sure there's stabilizer in the tank and put it on blocks to keep the tires from going wonky.

Is there such thing as hull warp if the ground wasn’t leveled?

I dont winterize, i keep boat ready for going out at any time even winter.
I usually get out at least once a month in the winter

Never heard of such a thing

May I ask you where do you store your boat ?
