Winterization
Engines, generators, and onboard systems protected from freeze damage before the Hudson River freezes
Every System That Holds Water
Our technicians winterize gas and diesel inboards, sterndrives, Yamaha jet engines, Kohler generators, and every onboard system that can freeze and crack.
Water left in an engine block, manifold, water heater, or head line expands when it freezes, and one hard freeze can split a block or crack a fitting. We replace that water with antifreeze, protect the fuel and internal engine parts, and leave each system ready to recommission in the spring.
Winterization pairs with haul out, shrink wrap, and winter land storage here at the marina, so your boat can be serviced and stored without leaving the property.

Our Winterization Process
Every boat moves through the same four steps, from your request to a wrapped boat in storage.
Schedule
Send a service request and we set a fall date before the first hard freeze. Let us know about generators, heads, and other systems on board.
Haul Out
We haul your boat at the marina and bring it to the service area, so every system can be reached and checked.
Winterize
Fuel is treated, cooling systems and engines are protected with antifreeze, and water systems, heads, air conditioning, and ice makers are drained and filled.
Wrap And Store
Your boat is shrink wrapped and blocked in winter land storage, ready for spring commissioning.
