Just wNt to know when most ppl hang up the ski

For us on the east coast of Canada it was last weekend. It was 85 and warm but now we have frost warnings every night. The season is over .... Sigh

Yeah I think I'm going to winterize mine this weekend. It's been averaging 45 degrees every morning on the st.lawrence. Depressing.

Do you need to winterize if it doesnt snow where you live? Also what should be done in order for it to be winterized?

 

[Cormacs]

If it gets below zero where it is stored you have to at least blow the water out the exhaust. Some people fog the cylinders but I don't bother for the short time it spends in storage.

I still have mine in the garage here in Norway, but its cold now and it only rains.. I hope for a sunny day so i can take it out just one more time before the winter sets in

I'll hang in up by Halloween here in Northern California.

To be pulled out mid-April.

5.5 Months of downtime.

Do you change the Coolant or you keep the same?
What I did was only remove the battery, add stabilizer with 91OCT gas, try to flush all water for 30sec from the exhaust, remove the battery.

Is it enough? Mine will be outside.

 

[Cormacs]

Mine are left outside as well. I just finished putting mine away. All I do is blast air through the flush port, fire it up until water stops running, blast more air in the flush port, fire it up for a few seconds, blast more air. Then before I back then into the shed I spray the impeller with some oil.

Coolant is good for minimum 3 years. The same coolant in automotive application is good for 5 years 150,000 miles. One thing I do instead of fogging the cylinder, I go out and fire then up once every month or two and let them idle for 15-30 seconds just to keep them moving. Completely unnecessary but I like to do it.

The coolant is not going to freeze ?

Coolant in the spark is the same as the coolant in your car. The freeze point when mixed properly is well below -40.

You can put your seats inside. Mice like to sleep in them during winter...

Took it out on Candlewood Lake in Southern CT this past Sunday, looking forward to keeping her running as long as I can this season.

Hope to take some Deep fall rides on both Candlewood and Lillinoah to enjoy the foliage.

Was getting splashed with some water and it was definitely starting to feel a little colder than normal, long sleeves will be a must going forward!

Thank goodness I live in Florida and don't have to worry about winterizing, other than wearing a wetsuit on cold days. ��
