Milky gear oil draining from the lower unit indicates severe water contamination, likely caused by a compromised driveshaft or propeller shaft oil seal, a damaged drain plug washer, or a cracked lower unit housing.
It is important to have your sterndrive serviced immediately. Leaving water-contaminated oil in the lower unit during freezing temperatures will cause the gearcase to crack and shatter

How are your anodes??
Here is a new MerCruiser Bravo Three bearing carrier assembly next to an old, heavily corroded old bearing carrier showing severe galvanic corrosion.
What does it mean?? STERNDRIVE FAILURE

The launch schedule is out and we are expecting to launch on time.
Please make sure your boat is ready no later than the preceding Sunday of your scheduled launch week.
All accounts must be paid in full prior to launch.

SERVICE WILL NOT BE SCHEDULED IF YOUR ACCOUNT HAS AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE
SCHEDULING MAY RESUME 3 WEEKS AFTER THE ACCOUNT IS BROUGHT CURRENT

This is the perfect time to check your safety equipment and to make sure life jackets, fire extinguishers and flair kits are not expired. Your boat should have a minimum of 3 dock lines and 2 fenders. Dock lines do degrade over time and should be replaced every few years. If you have any questions about what you are required to have please call us. 518-656-9931

We look forward to seeing everyone up here soon!

Watch your mailbox. Haul Out Service Request Forms have been mailed. There are some changes this year. We will no longer shrinkwrap boats that have kayaks or inflatables stored on decks. They must be removed before your boat is hauled. Also all boats requesting shrinkwrap must be ready to be covered on the day they are hauled out.
Service Request Forms are due back by September 1st. We only have six weeks to get everyone serviced and winterized so PLEASE return your form as soon as possible to help with the scheduling process. The first day of haul out is September 2. 2025

1,2,3...another magical boating season begins.
Launch has begun, please make sure you are prepared no later than the Sunday night before your scheduled launch week. And for those that seem to forget they own boats over the winter that haven't paid their haul services bill we remind you of our policy of no cash no splash. Happy Boating everyone.
