Winterization, spring commissioning, and seasonal care to keep your boat protected year-round.
Boats take on sun, moisture, and movement year after year. Seasonal maintenance keeps your boat protected during winter storage and ready to go when warm weather returns. Cold temperatures can damage engines, plumbing, and electrical systems — but proper winterization prevents costly repairs and keeps you safe on the water.
Protect your boat during cold months with comprehensive winterization.
Flush cooling system, add marine-safe antifreeze, fog cylinders, and stabilize fuel to protect your engine through winter.
Add fuel stabilizer, run engine to circulate. Top off tanks to prevent condensation and fuel degradation.
Drain water tanks, water heater, and lines. Add non-toxic antifreeze to protect plumbing and fixtures.
Disconnect batteries, clean terminals, check charge levels. Recommend maintenance charging or proper storage.
Drain and inspect lower unit gear oil. Look for water intrusion that indicates seal issues needing attention.
Clean interior, remove valuables, set up ventilation to prevent mold. Inspect cover or shrink wrap readiness.
Get your boat water-ready before the season starts.
Flush antifreeze, check belts and hoses, inspect cooling system, change oil if due. Get your engine ready to run.
Reinstall batteries, load test, clean connections, verify charging system operation. Our electrical specialty.
Inspect fuel lines, check filters, test fuel pump. Look for any issues from winter storage.
Test all navigation lights, bilge pumps, electronics, and 12V systems. Verify everything powers up correctly.
Flush antifreeze from water system, sanitize tanks, test water pump and fixtures.
Inspect fire extinguishers, flares, PFDs, throwable devices. Verify all required safety equipment is present and current.
Boats can develop cracks, leaks, electrical issues, or corrosion during downtime. Freezing temperatures and temperature swings create problems that often go unnoticed until your first outing. Seasonal maintenance protects your investment and reduces the risk of breakdowns on the water.
Other maintenance we can handle during your seasonal visit.
Test alternator output, battery condition, and shore power charging. Ensure your electrical system is ready for the season.
Power up and test chartplotter, VHF, AIS, fishfinder, and other electronics. Verify GPS accuracy and connections.
Test all navigation lights, anchor light, interior lights, and underwater lights. Replace bulbs or LEDs as needed.
Test automatic bilge pump operation, clean strainers, verify float switch triggers correctly.
Don't wait until the last minute. Book your winterization or spring commissioning early to get on the schedule.
