Had my 195HO winterized at end of season last year, has just 25 hours on it...
Dealer (marinemax) wants to charge me for an "engine recommission", don't I just have to drain the antifreeze they put in at the end of the year somehow and gas & go? Sorry not familiar with jet boat procedures yet. Any Help appreciated, Thanks.
 
You should be able to turn the key and go. If they fogged the motor heavily, you might need to change the plugs after you run it for a little bit.
 
@ScarabMike will gladly give you the run down on what you need to do......
 
@GIII Although Im not too familiar with the winterizing of our Rotax engines, I dont think you have to take the antifreeze out at all. It should double as coolant. Also, from what I have read, you dont need to fog our engines either. I would think all you have to do is check the fluids, oil level, and battery. Take the seal off the jet, and go.
