Winterization
Winterizing your boat is crucial for its overall maintenance and longevity.
It involves several tasks, such as protecting the engine, fuel system, water systems, and other parts from the damaging effects of cold temperatures and freezing.
By winterizing your boat, you prevent issues like cracked blocks, damaged hoses, and corrosion. This process typically includes draining and flushing the engine, adding antifreeze if needed, stabilizing the fuel, removing water from the cooling system, and protecting the interior and exterior of the boat.
Overall, winterizing your boat ensures that it remains in good condition during the off-season and allows for a smooth transition back to the water when spring arrives.

We stock a wide selection of parts in-store and can quickly order any additional parts needed. Our goal is to provide efficient and high-quality repairs, ensuring minimal wait times for our customers without compromising on the quality of our work and to get you back on the water.
Maintenance
To ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your boat motor, it is essential to schedule annual oil and filter changes.
Additionally, it is recommended to inspect and replace gear lubricants at the start of each season, as this will contribute to smooth operation.
Depending on the manufacturer’s guidelines, servicing the water pump should be done every one to three years, keeping in mind that the longevity of your boat’s engine may depend on it.
To prevent fuel system issues, it is advisable to utilize fuel additives regularly throughout the season, as they play a significant role in preserving the integrity of the system.
By adhering to these maintenance practices, you will be able to fully enjoy your time on the water without the inconvenience of breakdowns or the expense of major repairs.
