Fall is a beautiful time to be on Lake Martin. Though we’ll have higher water levels longer, we are still nearing the end of the season, and soon it will be time to put away the swimsuits and water skis. The days are getting shorter, evenings are cooler and days on the boat will soon be precious memories. It’s time to protect your most valuable recreational asset and winterize your boat! Fall lay-up is quite possibly the single most important maintenance duty a boater will perform. Proper winterization will prevent costly damage that can result from freezing, dormancy, corrosion and moisture, and will allow for a smooth launch come springtime.
Russell Marine offers winterization packages which include adding fuel conditioner to gas, running the boat to circulate treatment and heat oil, changing of oil, oil filter and fuel water separator filter, if required, grease steering and fittings, check lower unit lube and top off, remove plugs from manifold(s), engine block and engine cooler, and draining of the bilge.
During winterization, Russell Marine can also perform any additional work required such as replacing or repairing impellers, props, upholstery and fiberglass. Call any Russell Marine location, visit the website or download and return the winterization form, and schedule your boat winterization today.
