Hey yall, I had the Mobius Winterized at Dallas Ski in Decamber, well, I had them leave the (2) freeze plugs out. They said it is 75.00 to "summerize" it which includes running the boat. Is this needed? Can I just put the freeze plugs back in myself? What else would be involved?

Yes just put all the plugs back in and hook up all the hoses and you should be good to go.

They are probably the engine block plugs. One on each side should take you all of 5 minutes unless the threads in the block got rusted up. I always drained the block and put the plugs right back in because if you leave em out for a while they can be kind of a pain to put back in.

If the holes are rusted just hit em with some wd-40, I say it's a pain but it will really only take an extra couple minutes. No we traded it in to dallas ski boats.

Casey, put some anti-sieze on them before you put back in. Make it easier to take out and keeps rust to a minimum. Mst the time they tape your plugs to steering wheel so you don't forget. My buddy showed me how t winterize my boat and I always tape them to steering wheel. Dos Equis Amber or Negro Mondelo is good to Fish Boy...LOL
