Winterizing Your Boat Lift
When we see the first signs of
fall and winter, the leaves falling, waking up to frost on our lawn, seeing our
breath in the evenings when we're outside, it means that another reality of
seasons changing is close at hand, that it is time to winterize your boat for
the season.
For all of the fun
time that you have spent out on your boat this season, you know that if you
don't properly winterize it, it's going to lead to even more maintenance next
season when it's time to take it out again. An equally important piece of
maintenance that is often overlooked is winterizing your boat lift in order to
extend its life as well.
Of course, if you
had a Jet Dock boat lift, you
wouldn't have to do nearly as much maintenance as a non-Jet Dock lift requires,
but even still, these are good recommendations in order to ensure that you
don't have to worry too much about what maintenance needs to be done when
spring rolls around.
First and
foremost, make sure that you check your lift at the end of each season. There's
nothing easier you can do other than taking a quick look at your boat lift to see if
there are any worn parts.
Next, check cables
for any sort of fraying, this isn't necessary with a Jet Dock boat lift, but you
get the point.
Secure the lift in
case of storms over the winter, or if you have a Jet Dock lift, simply take it
out of the water for the season.
Check any
components of the boat lift that may have become worn over the past several months
of use.
If your lake is
prone to freeze over the winter, you are definitely going to want to remove it
for the winter. With a Jet Dock boat lift this is incredibly simple, with other boat lifts you may want to check with the local
marina or wherever it may be that you dock your boat as to what the protocol
for removing a boat over the winter months is.
Try to dismantle
your boat lift as little as possible when storing it for any significant amount
of time. Make sure that all small hardware is stored together and in a place
that will be easy to find when it comes time to get back out on the lake in the
winter.
Remember, if you have a Jet Dock boat lift, hardly any of this maintenance is necessary aside from the few things mentioned above. If you're looking for a boat lift that is easy to take care of that will also make sure that winterizing your boat over all is easy, check out Jet Dock's boat lifts and jet ski lifts today.
