Frequently Asked Questions <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy do I need to winterize my boat?\u202f<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou must winterize your boat because there is water in the boat, which will freeze, that can cause damage to your vessel and even destroy an engine. Your insurance company may not cover claims such as these if the boat was not properly winterized.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nShould I drain the gas from my boat over winter?\u202f<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. Experts advise storing your boat with the tank nearly full.
