On Saturday (25-October-2014) my brother and I went to the boat yard for the first day of the winterization process for “Thanks Dad”.
We ran anti-freeze through the engine & head/holding tank and we removed the cushions, lines, fenders, electronics, safety equipment and other miscellaneous items.
We also fabricated a new frame for the tarp. The frame we made in 2012 was 3/4″ Sched. 40 PVC. It broke in a couple places each of the last 2 winters at some of 45 degree fittings. We decided to rebuild it using 1.25″ Sched. 40 PVC to beef it up.
