Winterizing Your Boat with Dry Dock Marine | Lake Cowichan BC

We hate to say it, but the summer boating season is winding down. The kids are back in school, evenings are getting cooler, and the days are getting shorter. For some, every last ray of sunshine will be used on the water. For most, it’s time to get the boat ready for winter.

How will you prepare your boat for the off-season? Many people attempt to winterize their own boat to save money. However, every spring we see boats come into our Lake Cowichan BC shop with serious damage from improper winterization. Cracked engine blocks, broken exhaust manifolds, and burst water lines are all common results. Don’t let this happen to you.
