Why winterize your boat in the fall?
Because spring should be about boating—not waiting for service.
Fall is the perfect time to:
✔ Winterize and protect your engine
✔ Change oil and gear l**e
✔ Grease engine and trailer fittings
✔ Check batteries, bearings, tires and brakes
✔ Inspect water pumps, spark plugs, anodes, belts and thermostats
✔ Upgrade electronics, trolling motors and battery systems
Taking care of maintenance now can help prevent unexpected downtime when boating season returns.
And if you've been thinking about upgrading, fall is a great time to consider a trade.
Trade your current boat now and you may be able to avoid the cost of winterization, maintenance and storage—then have your next boat rigged and ready for spring.
Get ready now. Go boating later.
