What will happen if I leave water in my outboard motor?

If you leave water in your outboard motor for any length of time when it is not being used, you run the risk of severe and very costly damage. As temperatures plummet during the winter, any water that has been left inside the motor will freeze and expand, causing cracks and other damage to occur internally. Additionally, salt water is corrosive and can cause corrosion within the engine.

Do both 2 stroke and 4 stroke outboard motors need to be winterised?

Yes. While the exact process varies slightly, all outboard motors, both 2 stroke and 4 stroke, should be winterised to prevent damage.

Do I need to winterise my outboard motor, even if it is going to be stored indoors over the winter?

Yes. Whilst some of the winterisation process is to prevent damage caused by freezing temperatures, other aspects of the process, such as replacing oils, treating fuel and greasing moving parts should be carried out if an outboard motor isn’t going to be used for a long period of time, regardless of the temperature.

When should I winterise my outboard motor?

You should winterise your outboard motor as soon as the temperature drops sufficiently that there is a risk of frost and you have finished using your boat for the season. In the UK, this is usually around the end of September.

When should I de-winterise my outboard motor?

It is safe to de-winterise your outboard motor as soon as the last of the spring frost has passed. In the UK, this is usually around April.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used MB Marine Sales to check over our boat to get her ready to be sold, as well as winterising the engines. There was clear communication throughout, really helpful and professional. Can’t recommend Mark and his services enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark has been an absolute life saver, provided the parts we needed to fix the impella on my Rib. He was really busy but then proceeded to spend lots of time on numerous calls helping us out with telephone support which was invaluable! I have never experienced service like this and someone who will go the extra mile to help! I recommend everyone puts a MB Marine sticker on their engine for when you need him, you won’t find better!

We use both our ribs as commercial charter boats so always need them in perfect working order - they have never let us down with care and maintenance that Mark provides.

Would highly recommend.
