ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE WINTERIZATION Clause Samples

The ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE WINTERIZATION clause outlines the requirements and responsibilities for preparing a boat's engine and outdrive system for winter storage. Typically, this involves draining fluids, adding antifreeze, and taking steps to prevent freezing damage or corrosion during periods of non-use. By specifying these procedures and assigning responsibility—often to the owner or service provider—the clause helps ensure the vessel remains in good condition through the off-season and reduces the risk of costly repairs due to winter-related damage.
