Time to start thinking about winterizing... after the fall striper season of course.
Anyone found or using an internet source for oil and filters.
I have twin Yamaha 4-stroke 115's and as all are aware, oil per qt is indeed like black gold these days.
Thanks

I've been buying my spark plugs, lower unit oil, and fuel/water separator filters from Andy at Shipyard Island Marine.

Other items such as waterproof grease and fogging oil I get locally at West Marine.

2-stroke oil I buy online by the case in the spring at: http://oil-store.com/
(I run Penzoil full synthetic)

For other marine items, I generally check BOE Marine before looking elsewhere.
They have the best prices and customer service in the industry.

Hope that helps!

What's winterizing? We just keep running them all year.

Warthog, winterizing is when you throw a sweatshirt in the cabin in case it gets a little cool on the run out. Don't you know nuthin?

I feel for the guys up north. In the mid-Atlantic most years I can splash in March and fish until the end of December. I'm only out of action for 2-1/2 or 3 months.
