When it’s time to put your boat away for the season, the process is hassle free. Bring your boat to Temagami Marine for winterization of the engine and drive.
Storing your craft at Temagami Marine means security. Our Wiggins “Marine Bull” forklift is capable of lifting up to a 34-foot boat right out of the water and stacking it safely in one of our 10 modern dry stack storage buildings. We do not use shrinkwrap on any of our boats! Most buildings are equipped with drop curtains to protect from the winter elements and are verified on a daily basis.
Repairs or maintenance requiring extensive time (such as repairs to engines & drives, hull painting, or gel coat) are completed during the winter months by our technicians.
Annual spring maintenance is also an important part of the longevity of your boat and motor. Our service department is well stocked with what your engine needs for peak performance.
What is Winterization?
Winterization means fully preparing your boat and motor for storage in cold weather.
Temagami winters are harsh and we want to be sure that your boat is prepared.
Our winterization system is as follows:
1. You are able to drop off your boat at our regular dock spaces or in our yard.
Please inform the service department that your boat is ready for winterization.
2. A fuel stabilizer is added to the fuel tank.
3. Your engine is “fogged” with an anti-corrosion oil to protect internal components.
4. We change the engine oil and filter (excluding 2 stroke outboards)
5. Our technicians protect the cooling system with a “marine safe” antifreeze
6. Your boat is removed from the water with our forklift and inspected fully
7. We clean the hull, remove any algae, and apply a hull whitening agent.
8. The gearcase lubricant is changed along with any damaged gear plug washers.
9. We disconnect the battery to eliminate a “draw” from accessories
10. Your boat is safely stored in one of our dry stack storage buildings until spring.
Contact the service department by phone or by e-mail to schedule your boat for Winterization and storage.
