Winterise your engine

Winterising your inboard engine

Help your inboard engine survive the cold weather and next year you can enjoy a season of stress-free boating.


1. Fuel Stabiliser

Add Fuel Set 500ml Fuel Treatment & Conditioner  to the fuel to stabilise the fuel and prevent engine failure. This complete fuel conditioner will help reduce maintenance costs and absorb any water present in the fuel.

2. Inboard Engine Flusher

Allows you to flush an inboard engine while the boat is out of the water

3. Protective Coating

Spray in Liqui Moly Marine Storage Fogging Oil in the cylinders and carburettors to prevent corrosion over the winter.

4. Antifreeze

Add antifreeze to prevent catastrophic damage from water freezing in your engine block

5. Oil Change

Change your oil quickly and easily with the Seago Extract- It vacuum oil extractor.

6. Repellent

WD40 can be used all over the boat, and a good spray on most moving parts should help keep things smooth over the winter

7. Lubricate

Clean off and re-grease steering systems and engine controls as part of your winter service routine with Quicksilver 2-4-C Multi-Purpose Lubricant 

8. Outdrive Gearbox Oil

Quicksilver Hi Performace Gear Lube is designed to increase the life of gearbox components and works on outdrives and outboards.

9. Descale and remove salt deposits 

Add descaling liquid to the cooling water and run the engine up to normal operating temperature. 

10. Anodes

Your engine will need a good set of anodes for the start of the season, we keep dedicated sets for both propeller shafts and outdrives.
