FAQ

 
WHAT IS YOUR WINTERIZATION PROCEDURE?

Not all Winterizes are done the same way. At Boathouse Marine Storage + Maintenance we do things the proper way with the longevity of your boat kept in mind.

STEP 1

Run boat up and test for leaks. This way we can identify any potential issues and recommend any services that will increase the life of your boat. We also test your batteries and all electrical systems to verify proper operation.

STEP 2

Drain all the water from the boat, this includes the engine block, ballast bags, heater and shower if applicable. We disconnect the negative terminals of your batteries and tie them to your battery handle for easy re-connection in the summer.

STEP 3

Reinstall all engine plugs and run -100 Celcius antifreeze through your boat’s water systems. Most service providers use -50 Celcius anti freeze which has a freezing point of -11 Celcius. We use the -100 antifreeze which has a freezing point of -51 Celcius.

STEP 4

Drain all the antifreeze from the boat, this includes the engine block, ballast bags, heater and shower if applicable. We add a moisture bag to collect any moisture that may be trapped inside the boat’s interior.

STEP 5

Wait for the boating season to arrive!

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF INDOOR BOAT STORAGE?

PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS

Storing a boat indoors protects it from the elements like snow, rain, sunlight and wind. This minimizes oxidation on the hull's gel coat, prevents and prolongs the life of any canvas covers.

NOT HAVING TO "PARK IT ON THE STREET" OR IN YOUR DRIVEWAY.

If you’re concerned about the potential for getting ticketed parking your boat on the street, Boathouse Marine Storage + Maintenance's Indoor Storage is an ideal option.

CLEANLINESS

Storing your vehicles and boats in the place you intend to use them can save you transport costs and springtime cleaning hours/fees.

KEEPING WATCH ON YOUR INVESTMENT

Not only do we have onsite management, but our security systems includes 24/7 surveillance cameras, gated outside fencing and bay-door locks, all providing multiple levels of security on site. You can rest assured knowing your asset is safe.

WHY DO I NEED HEATED INDOOR STORAGE FOR MY BOAT?

HEATED STORAGE OFFERS THE BEST PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS AND FREEZE-THAW CYCLES THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR INVESTMENT

Heated indoor storage is the best storage solution for boats in the Southern Alberta area. While indoor storage is just as good at protecting your boat from the elements, heated indoor storage protects your boat from freeze-thaw cycles. These rapid changes in temperature are extremely hard on many of your boats systems including:

  • Gel Coat
  • Electronic Systems
  • Stereo System
  • Engine Gaskets
  • Interior Upholstery

If every year has approximately 80 of these cycles, a boat stored in non-heated storage is going to experience significant more wear to these systems after decades of exposure.

MOLD PREVENTION

Mold prevention is one of the other key benefits. Indoor heated storage significantly reduces the moisture trapped in your boat. This moisture is the main cause of the black mold that can occur with an improperly shrink wrapped boat.

KEEPING WATCH ON YOUR INVESTMENT

Not only does Boathouse Marine Storage + Maintenance have onsite management, their security system includes 24/7 surveillance cameras, gated outside fencing and bay-door locks, all providing multiple levels of security on site. You can rest assured knowing your asset is safe.
