West Marine Coupon Helps Save Money on Boat Storage and Winterizing Supplies
Ok, it’s coming up to the end of the boating season. Winterizing your boat can be expensive, but we know how to ease the pain with savings of at least 10%.
Winterizing a boat can be a pain and burn a hole in your wallet, but here are some easy storage tips for your boat and a great way to save money on boat storage and winterizing supplies.
You can save a lot of money by doing it yourself. The two most important things to consider for winter boat storage are the engine and drives.
Winterizing your boat engine and drive is work. But remember, improperly winterizing will cost you more in the spring! Pick a nice sunny day and proceed.
There are differing opinions on its necessity over a seasonal layup, but I always add fuel stabilizer to my tanks before my last short trip of the season. This will allow it to mix well with the fuel in the tank before it hits the boat storage yard. Save money on this item by buying in bulk. West Marine lets you buy by the case and save over 10%.
Fog your boat engine by revving the engine to about 1500 rpm and spray fogging oil into the carburetor. When the RPMs begin to drop, shut off the engine. This will coat the cylinder walls with oil and prevent corrosion building up over the winter months. Fogging oil is not only frequently a sale item at West Marine, you can use their internet coupons for additional savings.
Change your engine oil after you’ve run your engines. Warm oil flows much easier. Drain as much dirty oil as possible. It’s easiest done with an oil extractor. There are several on the market, but any in the West Marine catalog should suffice. Be sure to use the web coupon for 10% off the online price. When changing the oil filter, be sure the gasket comes off with the old filter. You’ll have some cleanup after you start the engine if you don’t.
Drain the gear lube from your drive (check your manual for your specific style of drive - Mercruiser, OMC and Volvo tend to differ). Re-fill gear lube reservoir. One tip given to me by a 40-year marine mechanic is to always replace the gaskets and o-rings when ready to re-fit the oil and vent plugs. Your particular drive may require a gear lube pump. These items are not expensive, but will save you money in the long run. Add in your West Marine savings coupon for extra savings.
Remove your propellers and examine them for nicks, or bends in the prop blades. Check the prop shaft. Grease the shaft with some quality, waterproof grease. Since security is sometimes an issue, take them home with you. I spend a cold winter day polishing them up in preparation for my spring boat launch.
Speaking of security, I also bought some outdrive locks from West Marine which has given me tremendous peace of mind while my boat is in storage. Apply your 10% savings coupon for a great deal.
Remove every drain plug on your engine, manifolds, coolers, heat exchangers, water pumps, and anything else that could have water in it (except the anti-freeze side of a closed cooling system). Run RV type antifreeze through all hoses until it comes out the other side of the block.
Disconnect your batteries. Best scenario would be to remove them and store them in a cool, dry place. If a battery replacement is needed, remember to save by using your 10% savings coupon at West Marine.
Be sure to winterize other parts of your boat. Head, shower, fresh water, and air conditioner should all be properly winterized.
You’ve just completed your boat winterization and we saved you at least 10% on your boat storage and winterizing supplies. These are steps to easy boat storage for the season and now you can relax while the snow flies and dream of your next trip on the water.

What is the bad smell in my kitchen?
We have lived in his house for 4 months. About 3 months ago I noticed a bad smell in the kitchen. It's like a metallic, dirty smell. I've never sniffed anything like it before.
It's not the drains (replaced them) or the fridge (replaced that too). I thought it might be the oven but I have cleaned that to death and when I stick my head inside it's not that. The area it's coming from seems to be around the extractor fan above the hob, which is a re-circulating type. I've cleaned the filters in the dishwasher - still there.
Does anyone have any idea what might make an extractor fan smell - and how do I get rid? ir fresheners don't cover it up and I'm fed up of having the door open all the time to get fresh air through.
It's nothing dead in there as there are no spaces for dead creatures to hide in our kitchen.....
Please help....
Could be your drain traps, they need to be "P" traps not S traps , could be sewer gas escaping into the home, also check the vent stacks for obstructions, or could be sulferated water.
