It takes more than just pulling your boat out of the water to safeguard it for the off-season. At Perdue Marine, our certified technicians develop a professional, brand-specific plan to protect your vessel, ensuring you’re ready to launch as soon as spring arrives.
Prepping your boat or pontoon for winter is critical to ensuring quick and easy spring start-ups. Our comprehensive approach goes beyond draining the water: we follow manufacturer guidelines, perform thorough inspections, and use high-quality products to protect your boat from harsh weather.
Key Steps:
