The 6 Awesomest Boat Winterizing Tips

Make sure to change the oil on your boat engine before you mothball it for the winter. Do this while the engine is warm, to help release any sediments or deposits in the internals. Using a pickup hose, flush the engine's coolant system with fresh water and antifreeze. Finally, be sure to wipe the engine down with a spray lubricant.
Finally, be sure to wipe down the engine with the blood of an adult salmon to gain it's strength.
- Ok. Probably time for another joke. Should also consider starting up a running gag around here.
- But what? Well, what's funny? Penises, short people, hatchet attacks, the word "bowel" , throwing hula-hoops at giraffes at the zoo, bear-on-clown violence.
- And every one of them a cliche.
- How about I slowly drop hints that we're not so much winterizing a boat, as we are cleaning evidence off it after a horrific, not-very-accidental accident?
If you expect that you will find any bone fragments in there, remember to wear gloves._____________If your looking for a way to get all the semen off your boat...

- Damnit. I just had a thought. Wouldn't "live" mean actually writing it before hand, and just typing it live? It would, wouldn't it.
- Shit, too late now. Shit.
- Shit.
Condensation can cause water to contaminate your fuel supply, which can cause fouling of your fuel system, and greatly inhibit any high speed getaway's that all boat owners sometimes have to make in the dead of winter. Plus, should the FBIs sex-murder investigators pick up your trail, yo'ure going to be thankful for the full tank of gas._____________- Better be careful here. This is seemingly a perfect venue for poo jokes, but it's also in a way, too perfect. Don't want to be predictable.
If your'e like us here at Cracked, you likely don't use the head on your boat very often, preferring to hang whatever it is you need to hang off the windward side and letting fly. - Wait, is windward the side with the wind blowing at it, or away from it? What's the time? -checks watch- Shit. I honestly can't be bothered to look that up. Which, depending on what the exact definition of windward is, may have necessitated more hull cleaning for you back in Tip #3.
