Winterizing your boat with Dry Dock Marine
We are refusing to believe it, but our Summer boating season is winding down to an end. The kids are back in school, cooler evening temperatures are felt by many and shorter days are becoming more noticeable. For some, they will run their boats until every last ray of sunshine has shined down and the grey clouds have taken over the skies. For most, it is time to get the boat ready for off-season storage and shift into Fall/Winter.
How will you prepare your boat for the winter season and what will you do to have it “turn key” in the spring? Some people attempt to do this work themselves to “save money” but each and every spring we see boat come in to our shop in the spring with substantial damage from not properly winterizing their boat. Cracked engine blocks, exhaust manifolds, broken water lines and many other boo boos that are the result of inexperienced people working on their boats. DONT LET THIS BE YOU!
