Boatsmart Winter Ready

DON'T LET WINTER BECOME A SPRING PROBLEM.

ENGINE SERVICING • WINTERISATION • BOAT HEALTH CHECKS

The boating season may be coming to an end, but now is the ideal time to service your engine, protect your boat and identify any problems before next season.

Boatsmart Winter Ready combines professional engine servicing and winterisation with practical checks of your boat, electrical systems and trailer.

SERVICE IT NOW. PROTECT IT OVER WINTER. START NEXT SEASON WITH CONFIDENCE.

CHOOSE YOUR WINTER READY PACKAGE

From essential engine care to complete end-of-season preparation, choose the level of protection that's right for your boat.

All prices are starting prices. Your exact fixed price will be confirmed once we know your engine make, model, service interval and boat requirements.

YOUR BOATSMART WINTER HEALTH REPORT

Winter Ready Plus and Winter Ready Complete include our Boatsmart Winter Health Report — a simple snapshot of your boat's condition at the end of the season.

Rather than simply listing faults, we clearly identify what needs attention using three easy-to-understand categories:

✓ 🟢 GOOD — no action required
✓ 🟠 ATTENTION — wear or maintenance to consider before next season
✓ 🔴 ACTION REQUIRED — should be addressed before the boat is used again

This gives you a clear maintenance plan for the winter and a useful record for future servicing.

NO UNNECESSARY WORK. NO GUESSWORK.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR SERVICE?

Your fixed Winter Ready price includes the normal parts and consumables required for the specified annual service, based on the engine manufacturer's service requirements.

Depending on the engine and service interval, this may include:

✓ Engine oil and filter
✓ Fuel filter
✓ Spark plugs
✓ Gear/drive oil and seals
✓ Routine service anodes
✓ Water pump impeller where included in the applicable service
✓ Other manufacturer-specified routine service items

The exact requirements vary between engines and service intervals.

FIXED PRICE BEFORE WE START

If we identify anything outside the agreed service, we'll explain what we've found and provide a quotation before carrying out additional work.

WINTERISATION

Winterisation helps protect your engine and boat systems during winter storage.

Where applicable, this can include:

✓ Engine and cooling-system winterisation
✓ Cooling-system drain-down
✓ Fuel stabiliser
✓ Fresh-water tanks and systems drained
✓ Corrosion protection
✓ Battery and charging-system checks
✓ Trailer grease points

Winterisation procedures vary between boats and engine types, so we carry out the appropriate procedures for your individual boat.

DON'T DISCOVER THE PROBLEM ON LAUNCH DAY

A weak battery.
A worn impeller.
A seized trailer brake.
A deteriorated hose.
A damaged anode.

Winter is the best time to identify and deal with these problems — before the boat is needed again.

✓ Avoid last-minute spring repairs
✓ Give worn components time to be replaced
✓ Protect your engine and boat systems
✓ Get ahead of the spring rush
✓ Start the season with confidence
