Ways to Prepare Your Dock & Lift for Spring

Spring is here and boating season is right around the corner! While some of you may have ventured out already, the majority of boat owners haven't quite gotten their boats ready for the season. Our Lake of the Ozarks boat lift company knows there are a few things you should check off your list before you are fully prepared for boating season. Take a look below to learn about these steps you should take as you gear up for another great summer at the Lake!

De-winterize Boat

It's that time of year! With the freezing temperatures behind us, you're in the clear to de-winterize your boat. We know you're anxious to hit the water this spring! Get your fluids filled back up and test your motor for any issues from sitting all winter.

Inspect Dock

It's a good idea to have your dock inspected after the long winter. Your cables may need adjusting while the water is low, as well. An electrical company can come to test your electric lines to your dock to ensure they are properly grounded and your dock is safe for boating and swimming this summer!

Check Your Boat Lift

Just like your boat, you should check over your boat lift this spring. Ensure your lift is going up and down as it should. Also, ensure no fittings or brackets have wiggled lose over the winter. Our team would be happy to come out and check over your lift for you to ensure it's ready for a great summer!

As a dealer for Galva-Hoist, Summerset Boat Lifts employs personnel for all aspects of the boat lift business -- sales, shipping, assembly, installation and service are all provided by our own employees. We want our customers to relax knowing their boat lift needs are being handled by professionals. We don’t just sell you a lift, we sell you our service.

If you run into any issues with your lift, contact Summerset Boat Lifts and we'll send one of our team members out to check it out. Even if there isn't a visible problem with your lift, it's a good idea to have your boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks checked over this spring. We can come out and take a look at your lift to ensure it is prepared for the rough summer waters that are right around the corner! Give the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call today and we'll check out your lift!

Top Benefits of Owning a Boat Lift

There are a ton of advantages that go hand-in-hand with owning a boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. From keeping your boat safe from the rough waters during the summer to storing it safely through the winter, boat lifts are an important addition to your boat dock at the Lake. Learn about the top benefits of having a boat lift from Summerset Boat Lifts.

Keeps Your Boat Bottom Clean

When your boat sits in water for long periods of time, it begins to develop algae build up on the bottom. By raising your watercraft out of the water with the help of a Galva-Hoist boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks, you can avoid this issue and reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to clean your boat.

Decreases Boat Maintenance Costs

By storing your boat above the water line, you're not only decreasing the amount of cleaning needed, but also the amount of maintenance. Keeping your boat dry will help you avoid excess wear and tear on your boat, including the need for regular bottom painting. Storing your boat in the water can lead to issues in the boats structure and increase the chances of damage from floating debris, ice, etc. 

Reduces the Likelihood of Your Boat Sinking

Of all the boats that sink, about 85% of those situations occur at the dock. Lifting your boat out of the water with a boat lift will reduce the likelihood of your boat sinking while sitting at your dock. Boats can sink due to a variety of reasons, especially in the spring time. Check out our blog titled, "5 Reasons Boats Often Sink in the Spring" to learn more.

Makes It Easy to Launch Your Boat

When you store your boat in the water on a lift, you reduce the launch time needed before you can enjoy the water. If you have to store your boat on land, on a trailer, you have to take it to a launch site and put it in the water each time before using it. By storing your watercraft on a boat lift, you are able to easily launch it and typically enjoy your boat more often. You'll be hitting the water in no time!

As the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know how important it is to protect your boat. No matter what size of boat you have - from canoes to cruisers - we can help you lift it! Contact Summerset Boat Lifts today to learn how we can help you protect your investment.
