The Importance of De-Winterizing Your Boat

The weather is getting increasingly more beautiful, and if you haven't been out on your boat yet this year - the water is probably calling to you. Before you hit the Lake, though, it's important to take a few necessary steps to get your boat ready for a day on thewater. De-winterizing your boat in the spring is just as important as winterizing it in the fall - and Village Marina is here to help. Here are a few thoughts on the importance of summarizing your boat at the Lake of the Ozarks, and how your local boat service department at the Lake of the Ozarks can help.


Make Sure Your Boat is Ready to Hit the Water

Having your boat de-winterized is important because if it was winterized, you won't be able to start it right up. Many boat owners have a series of tasks completed on their boat, from winterizing the battery to completely draining the cooling system. These actions will need to be reversed, along with several others. You'll want to have an oil change completed on your engine as well to make sure that the oil is clean and ready to power your boat through the water.

You will also want to have the distributor cleaned. During the winter they can become corroded, which can cause issues further down the line.

There are many details about your boat that will need to be looked at, inspected, and maintained after sitting over the winter, and the best boat services department at the Lake of the Ozarks is ready to assist.


Find Issues Before They BECOME Issues

Another reason that having your boat summerized at the Lake of the Ozarks is important is because we can do an overall evaluation and make sure that all hoses and systems are updated and in working order. Not only do we de-winterize your boat to get it back on the water, we also want to inspect all of the other elements to make sure that nothing is getting too old, worn, or broken.

Many times throughout the winter, an owner will be unaware of small animals who have gotten inside - and have made a nice cozy home somewhere that you may not have thought to look. While creating that home, they've also made themselves comfortable, and probably chewed through cords and hoses, which can cause you danger in the long run.

Having a professional marine service at the Lake of the Ozarks look over your boat can give you the peace of mind to know that everything is in working order and ready to go.
