Upgrades to Your Boat to Make in the Off-season

Does your boat need repairs or upgrades?

Do you tend to put off your to-do list all summer? The offseason is the perfect time to take care of cleaning, repairs, and any upgrades your boat needs while in storage.

If any of the gauges on your dash are over 10 years old, you may want to consider replacing them. If you need to replace them yourself rather than having your boat serviced by a professional, make sure you take a photo of the dash first so you can remember the position of even gauge. Use extreme caution working with wires and electrical components.

Secondly, the safety lighting on your boat should be a top priority! Keep your passengers safe and navigation easier when you add marine lights to your boat.

Finally, the offseason is the perfect time to replace that old, wooden boat dock with a shiny new aluminum boat dock! We’ve got high quality dock sections to fit any style and color, and we can provide tips for dock installation too!

Repairing, Rebuilding, and Replacing Boat Parts

Missing your boat during this long Midwestern winter? We can relate!

To cure your winter blues, take this time to repair, replace, or rebuild boat parts that may have been neglected over the summer or are due for upgrades:

1. Replace old hoses and clamps.
2. Double check hatch gaskets that are normally tucked away in small areas of your boat.
3. Avoid any accidents or citations during the boating season by replacing or repairing any broken navigation lights.
4. Look at your boat dock while it’s in storage. Do any sections need to be replaced? What about giving it a good scrub? When dock installation time comes in the spring, you’ll be glad you took care of any upkeep beforehand.
