Stay Connected, Prepared, and Inspired on the Water

Your Year-Round Fall Boating Guide:

Fall is a time to slow down, enjoy cooler days on the water, or prepare your boat for the coming seasons. Whether you’re taking a crisp autumn cruise, joining other boaters for hands-on learning and seasonal experiences, or planning ahead for spring, here’s how to make the most of this season.

Seasonal Care

    Storage & Winterization

    Storage spots fill up quickly, especially indoor or heated options. Even a short check of covers, supports, and exposed hardware can save trouble later. Slightly elevating your boat while it’s in storage helps protect the hull and systems. For boats staying in the water, a partial winterization on sensitive areas can prevent headaches when spring comes.

  • Boat Systems, Hull & Cleaning

    A few small checks now go a long way later. Look over engine fluids, batteries, bilge pumps, and trim tabs, and take a quick look at the hull for cracks or corrosion. Anti-fouling paint doesn’t always need a full refresh—touch up the high-risk areas. Give compartments, lockers, and swim platforms a thorough clean, and consider minor surface touch-ups or replacing worn lines and fasteners.

Keeping the Season Alive

  • Hands-On Learning

    Classes and on-water sessions are a great way to sharpen your skills and stay comfortable handling your boat. Whether it’s a fishing seminar or a boating safety course, these opportunities help you feel more confident and prepared for next season.
