Please do not wait until the last
minute to call to have your boat winterized. In the event of
an early cold weather warning, we will give priority for winterization
in the chronological order that your authorization was received.
We cannot winterize your boat without your keys. It is your responsibility
to make sure the service department has a key to your boat or
knows where you keep it hidden.
An additional charge of $40 will apply if we have to bring
your boat around to the fuel dock to top off the gas or pump
out. |
