Spring Boat Start-Up at Your Dock
Get your boat ready for the season without hauling it to a shop. We check it over where it sits — at your dock, slip, driveway, or storage yard — and make sure it's ready before your first trip out.
What's Included
Ready Before You Touch the Water
A spring start-up — sometimes called summerization or commissioning — catches problems at the dock instead of out on the lake. Here's what we cover:
- Belts checked for wear and condition
- Fluids checked and topped off
- Battery check so you're not stuck at the dock
- Full systems check before your first trip out
We Make Sure It…
- Starts
- Idles
- Runs
- Cools
- Shifts
Factory-trained on Mercury Outboard, MerCruiser, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Also experienced with Volvo Penta, Honda, and Evinrude — outboards, inboards, and sterndrives.

FAQ
Spring Start-Up Questions
What does a spring start-up include?
Belts, fluids, a battery check, and a full systems check. We make sure the boat starts, idles, runs, cools, and shifts before you take it out for the first time.

Spring start-up is quoted when we winterize your boat. If we didn't winterize it, text us your boat's year, make, and engine and we'll give you a quote. Mobile service has a $100 minimum, which includes travel.
Do I need to bring my boat to a shop?
No. We come to your dock, slip, driveway, or storage yard. No tow, no haul-out fees, and no waiting at a shop.
