Winterization

2023 Winterization Maintenance Packages

Summer days on the lake are pure bliss, but unfortunately, the cool weather comes faster than you expect. The time to plan for winterizing your boat should happen before it gets cold. Creekside Marine is very familiar with Vermont winters, and we want to help winterize your boat. We have professional services that offer preventative care for boats and engines — needed to endure the winter weather. Trust us to get your boat winterized, so you can be ready to go in the spring.

Before your boat is left with us for winterizing and storage, we ask that you have the holding tank pumped and remove all cushions that may hold moisture to help prevent mold and empty refrigerators off all contents.
