It seems like summer barely has begun and now it is over.  Don’t despair — the best time to boat is the fall.  Checkout the Lake Chamber website http://funlake.com under the Events tab for a calendar of fun fall Lake activities.

 Call us to schedule your winterization or annual service, then continue to enjoy this beautiful fall.  

WINTERIZATION– Our winterizing procedure is a full service program, which includes the following where applicable:  Change fuel filter; change engine oil and filter; change lower unit lube and grease all fittings; service lube monitor bottle; clean flame arrestor; check all accessories, i.e. radio, bilge blower, bilge pump, nav lights, tilt/trim, gauges, etc.; stabilize fuel; fog engine; drain block, manifolds, etc; add antifreeze; disconnect/shut off battery; winterize Genset, A/C, water system and potty.

Our winterizing program is designed to save you money by combining your basic maintenance and winterization into one process. We are often questioned about changing oil and filter or lower unit oils when a boat has been run but very few hours. Most every owner’s manual states an oil and filter change at “X” number of hours OR ONCE A YEAR!

Lower unit oils deteriorate with time and the heat generated from gear loads. Being sure there is no water in the gear housings is extremely important. Water is not an acceptable lubricant and if found in the gear lube, minor seal replacements could save major failures and costly repairs.

Call us at 573-346-2433 to schedule your winterization or drop our service department an email at service@ggmarina.com.  We can not be responsible for damage if your boat is not scheduled for winterization before October 15^th.  We need two weeks advance notice of the winterize date.  Don’t forget to take care of your boat.

ANNUAL SERVICE – To keep your boat engine in top working condition it requires maintenance.  If you are not part of our winterization or annual service program, please give Steve a call at 573-346-2433 or email service@ggmaria.com.
