The boat requires some special care during the winter months. Many people chose to winterize their boats, which is simply putting an antifreeze solution in all wet systems, such as fresh water , waste water and engine cooling systems. However, once you winterize your boat it's pretty much unusable until spring. If someone goes onboard and uses any system, then that antifreeze is lost and thus the system is no longer protected. Since we would be visiting and staying onboard during the winter, we chose not to winterize, but take other precautions. We left our heat units set at 60 degrees. We put a heat lamp in the generator compartment to keep it warm and left an electric heater in the salon area just in case there was a malfunction of the heating system. We also left some hatches and covers open so that heat could radiate into the engine room and other areas that might freeze.
