Winterization Services
Why Winterizing Matterss
Even in the mild Virginia climate, winter can take a toll on your boat. Freezing
temperatures, moisture, and fluctuating weather can cause corrosion, cracked pipes,
and battery failure. Proper winterization helps prevent these costly issues, keeping
your boat safe through the off-season and ready to launch when spring arrives.
Common Risks Without Winterization
- Frozen engines and cracked blocks
- Fuel system contamination
- Battery failure from cold temperatures
- Mold and mildew buildup
- Corrosion and rust on metal components
