High winds and fast-moving water can create embarrassing situations and the potential for damage to the boat or dock. Once you understand the wind effects, you can formulate a docking plan. Then, it's just a matter of being patient and staying in control.

WHY YOU SHOULD WINTERIZE YOUR ENGINE
At this time of year practically every boating publication has an article about how to winterize your boat and engine for storage. Most of the stories explain and illustrate a step by step process for winterizing but often do not detail what could occur if the procedures are ignored or not followed correctly.
Fuel stabilization over the several months of non-use has to be a priority. Today's ethanol enhanced gasoline (E-10) is very susceptible to moisture as it will absorb any condensation on the inside surfaces of the fuel tank that forms when large temperature changes occur.
In hot weather gasoline can absorb up to 0.5% water but as it gets colder, the moisture in suspension will cause the ethanol to un-bond with the gasoline and will form an ethanol-water combination which is more corrosive than ethanol alone. This new mixture is heavier than gasoline and settles to the bottom where it proceeds to eat away at aluminum tanks starting at the welded seams. It can also strip the anodizing off the sides of the tank. Come springtime the carburetors or fuel injection system may accumulate the particles of aluminum oxide which looks likes white sludge. The same scenario happens to the gasoline inside of the engine and that affects the internal metal, plastic, and rubber parts of your motor's fuel system.
That is only half the story, gasoline also decomposes over time and oxidizes, forming gummy deposits that can harden and smell like varnish. This is where a quality fuel stabilizer comes in, its ingredients slow the decomposition of gasoline and re**rd – but not prevent – the phase separation of ethanol and water. In addition most stabilizers contain anti-corrosive additives to minimize rusting of steel parts and the freezing up of expensive electric fuel pumps.
