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.
