Boat De-Winterization Services

Winter is over, and the first day of spring has officially passed. This is excellent news for a boat owner like you who can’t wait to get back into the water. But wait! You need to prepare your boat for the season. Like winterization, boat de-winterization is a crucial aspect of boat maintenance. Since your vessel has been inactive during winter, it’s essential to prepare it to get back into the water. At OS Marine, we have a team of skilled, experienced, and certified marine technicians who provide professional boat de-winterizing services for boats of all types and sizes.

Our Boat De-Winterization Services

During winterization, many components on a boat are altered to prevent and minimize damage due to the low temperatures. De-winterization is purposed to ‘reverse’ these changes and get the vessel ready to go. The process of de-winterization involves various services depending on how thorough your boat was winterized.

At OS Marine, we offer the following boat de-winterization services:

1. Engine – We’ll change the oil and oil filter, inspect the outdrive and add the correct oil additive to the engine.
2. Cooling system – While de-winterizing a boat water system, we check the cooling system for cracks and holes in the hoses, empty the strainer and check for compromised areas that may impair the boat’s functions.
3. Cables and hoses – We’ll check that all cables, hoses, and rubber parts on your boat are in perfect condition and repair and replace those with tears or breaks.
4. Battery – We’ll check the amps and volts of your battery with a battery tester. If the battery can’t hold a charge, we’ll recommend a replacement. If it works fine, we’ll clean the corrosion from the terminals before reattaching it to the cables.
5. Fuel system – Fuel lines often break during cold temperatures and may need to be replaced. We’ll inspect the fuel lines, check for leaks, and change the fuel filter.
6. Distributor – We’ll clean your distributor thoroughly and ensure that the connectors are correctly hooked up.
7. Boat exterior – We’ll check the exterior of your boat to ensure there’s no external damage to the vessel.
8. Belt tension – We’ll check belt tension to see if your belt is too loose or needs replacing.

Proper de-winterization of your boat will ensure that it’s in perfect shape to get in the water and prevent problems arising while you’re at sea.
