Boat De-winterization Service
De-winterization by a professional mechanic catches many potential issues that can arise during your summer fun. Please schedule your de-winterization service early, because scheduling options becomes very limited starting in early May.
Pricing: $223
Boat Services performed:
- Install drain plugs in the motor, v-drive, exhaust manifold, and heat exchanger.
- Hook up hoses (Heater, shower, trans-cooler, water pump, etc).
- Run engine in shop on engine flusher (water cooling source), check for fuel, oil, and water leaks.
- Verify operation of gauges, charging, ballast, lights, bilge, accessories, and check main electrical systems.
- We test engine cooling on the hose. This catches 95% of bad impellers. Our service department recommends impeller replacement every season to ensure proper engine cooling and protect your motor. Manufacturer recommendations vary (Example Malibu recommends impeller changes every 50 hours or once a year).
