Winterize your boat and save hundreds in repairs

Fall is a beautiful time to be on Lake Martin. We are nearing the end of the season, and soon it will be time to put away the swimsuits and water skis. The days are getting shorter, evenings are cooler and days on the boat will soon be precious memories. It’s time to protect your most valuable recreational asset and winterize your boat! Fall lay-up is quite possibly the single most important maintenance duty a boater will perform. Proper winterization will prevent costly damage that can result from freezing, dormancy, corrosion and moisture, and will allow for a smooth launch come springtime.

Russell Marine offers winterization packages which include adding fuel conditioner to gas, running the boat to circulate treatment and heat oil, grease steering and fittings, check lower unit lube and top off, remove plugs in manifold, engine block and engine cooler, draining of bilge, and changing of oil, oil filter, and fuel water separator filter (if equipped).
