Winterization

Preparing Your Boat For Storage

Don’t let winter sink your boating season—protect your ride the right way! At DB Marine, our full-service boat winterization covers everything you need to keep your vessel safe through Lake Erie’s off-season. From engine and plumbing prep to fuel stabilization, battery removal and storage, and professional shrink wrapping, we handle it all—on-site or at our facility. Whether you’re storing indoors, outdoors, or just tucking it away until spring, we’ll make sure your boat is properly buttoned up and ready to hit the water the moment the ice melts. Because the only thing worse than winter… is a boat that won’t start in the spring.
