This video is horrible. I cannot express how useless it is. It does not describe in detail how to winterize a boat. The older couple who are in the video talk about the steps required, but the video does not get specific. They spend only a few moments on how to fog the engine, but never give a detailed explanation or show anything specific. They spend more time describing how to clean upholstery and a cabin bathroom; I don't need a video for this. A complete waste of money.

As a novice in winterizing a boat, I was hoping for a much more detailed video. There a many times the video shows a step in the process and then the narrator states to perform the next step without ever showing it. I assumed if someone was going to put a video like this together, they would at least clearly show each step. One step in the process is to Fog the engine. They do not even show the fogging oil being poured in and they never start the engine; a key step that I'm told is crucial in the process. In one instruction, it states to completely drain all the water, but the video shows the guy screwing back in the cap with water still pouring out of the hole. Very amateur and an overall complete dissappointment.

Real basics but with little details. Spray here, tighten there, take it to your dealer, seems to be the bulk of advice given with this video. Few details in winterizing and often the video doesn't match with the narrator's comments. Also it's dated -- shot around 1989 based upon the registration sticker on the boat. Seems like the only video around but maybe worth it if you want to know the basics before taking it to someone who'll do the job for you. But, I wouldn't recommend it.
