Top 3 Reasons to Schedule a Boat Lift Inspection BEFORE Winter

While winter is officially about a month away, it's time to make sure your dock, boat, and boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks are prepared for the cold months ahead. Most boat owners know about winterizing their boat and PWC's, but it's just as important for owners with lifts to schedule a boat lift inspection at the Lake of the Ozarks before the weather turns. Learn why below:

1. Protect Boat All Winter Long

Ensuring your lift is secure and ready for the winter months ahead is key. Having one less thing to worry about this winter brings great relief! If your lift has just been inspected and all the bracing and brackets are in good working order, you can trust your lift to keep your boat hoisted out of the water and to keep it protected all winter long!

2. Avoid Part Failure

Instead of waiting until an important part of your lift fails, consider having a regular maintenance check performed. This can help give you an idea of something that may need to be replaced in the near future before it actually breaks. A great deal of damage can be caused to your lift, boat, and dock if a part of your lift fails. Help minimize damage with an inspection this fall. 

3. Repair Broken Part 

The winter temps and weather will be here before we know it. It's best to have your lift looked at and fixed before the frigid temps creep in. Winter weather brings ice and snow, which are all heavy and put extra strain on your entire dock and bracing systems. It's very important to have your lift in good working order before the potential extra burden of winter weather. 

Now's the time to get your boat lift inspection at the Lake of the Ozarks scheduled! As the best boat lift company in the Midwest, we pride ourselves on providing the best product and service for our customers. Keep your product in good working condition when you schedule your boat lift maintenance at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Boat Storage Options for the Winter

If you haven't already, you're likely making plans to get your boat winterized for the season. Along with that comes the decision on how to store your boat during the winter months. There are advantages of each type of storage option available and our Lake of the Ozarks boat lift company is here to cover them!

Store on Boat Lift

One of the most popular storage methods is to leave your boat up on your boat lift for the winter months. This storage solution is the most cost-effective way to store your boat since you already own your lift. It also means you don't have to take extra time to make arrangements for your boat storage solution. Another perk is that come spring, you'll be able to get back on the water faster!

Store on Trailer

Some boat owners have a trailer and choose to store their boat on land. You may have a storage building or place for your trailer on your property, which would be a free storage solution for your boat. There are also storage facilities that are available for storing your trailered boat. Many storage facilities in the area offer covered storage options to help protect your boat and they have great security options, as well. 

Store at Marina

Many marinas around the Lake of the Ozarks offer both in-water and on-land storage options for your boat. If you're having your boat serviced in the off-season, the marina that is performing the service could be a convenient place to store your boat this winter. 

As you make your final preparations to winterize your boat, dock, and lift for the year, it's important to schedule your boat lift maintenance at the Lake of the Ozarks to ensure your lift is ready for the cold months ahead. This is especially important if you are storing your boat on your lift this off-season. Give the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call today! We'll make sure your lift is in good shape and ready to keep your boat protected for the winter ahead!
