As cooler weather sets in, marinas across the coast are shifting gears from busy boating season to winter readiness. Taking time now to prepare your facilities, docks, and equipment can help prevent costly damage and ensure a smooth transition into the off-season.
Start by inspecting docks, pilings, and electrical systems for wear or corrosion. Replace worn lines, secure loose boards, and make sure fire extinguishers and safety gear are in good working order. If your marina remains active through winter, double-check that lighting, fuel systems, and pump-out stations are protected from freezing temperatures.
This is also the perfect time to review your marina’s insurance coverage. Confirm that your policy reflects any changes made over the summer, from new slips or equipment to updated storm plans. Being proactive now can prevent headaches when winter weather arrives unexpectedly.
