Seasonal service
Protect your investment through the off-season — complete engine fogging, fuel stabilization, and systems wrap-up so spring commissioning is a formality, not a surprise bill.

Winterization is the structured process of preparing your outboard and critical systems for extended storage — whether you lay up for three months or run occasionally through a mild Florida winter. We fog the engine, stabilize fuel, flush cooling passages, and complete a checklist tailored to how your boat is stored.
Even in Florida, boats sit for weeks with ethanol fuel absorbing moisture, salt residue corroding internal passages, and batteries sulfating on the lift. Un-winterized engines often fail at spring startup with carburetor varnish, stuck thermostats, or cracked blocks in rare freeze events. Winterization is insurance against the first-trip disaster.
Owners who store on lifts or in dry stacks over fall and winter, snowbirds leaving vessels behind, and anyone who wants a documented off-season protocol before extended idle time.

Most owners do. Booking both together secures your place on the calendar and often reduces total cost versus scheduling separately.

Fuel System
E10 absorbs moisture in humid climates. Phase-separated fuel destroys injectors and carburetors.
No regrets: Fuel older than 30 days in a vented tank deserves stabilizer — or a fresh fill before storage.

Enclosed covers without ventilation trap heat and grow mildew faster than open air.
No regrets: If the cabin smells musty, you already have a moisture problem — not a fragrance problem.
