Well after along winter here in Bolingbrook IL…. I finally went to pick up the boat from storage an hour ago. Got to love the fact that after I connected all the wires to the batteries(added grease to all post)and went over my check list she fired right up first turn of the key! Now that my neighborhood is smoke free of the fogging oil my next step is wash and wax her. Then perhaps later this week weather depending take a ride down to the ILL/KKK river for her first run of the year! I am proud that I winterized that Merc motor again (almost 14) years in a row now by myself with no problems. Even more proud to be part of this BCB family!
