Questions for those of you who have to deal with Zebra Mussels.
This weekend we are out of town on a lake where they have recently found Zebra Mussels. Its far from home where we do not have to deal with that sort of thing and I've already taken precautions and unhooked the heater. We only run lead ballast so no issues there and the boat can stay on the trailer through next weekend for cleaning and detailing so my trailer should be clean by the time I return the boat to the slip. What I don't know is how to go about being sure the motor and Vdrive are cleaned out. I don't have a problem winterizing everything temporarily when we get home, but am wondering if there is anything more or different I should do to be sure it is clean.
I have a small lawn maintenece business that supports my foiling and boat stereo addiction so I want to be absolutely sure that I don't bring those things back since they would be a nightmare to deal with in my irrigation systems.
