Summer Preparation Checklist 

Dock & Hoist Readiness 

 - Inspect dock and hoist for any wear and tear from the  

previous season. 

New Boat Preparation & Hoist Adjustments 

 - Schedule an appointment for hoist adjustments if you have a new boat. 

 - Ensure that bunks, guides, and canopy uprights are  properly positioned. 

 - Confirm that all adjustments are made to protect your  investment and family. 

 - Schedule maintenance or repairs with our trained  technicians. 

 - Consider upgrades to enhance your waterfront  experience. 

Canopy Installation 

 - Provide advance notice to schedule a canopy installation.  - Notify us promptly if your boat delivery date changes.  - Remember: canopies can only be installed once the boat  is on the hoist.

 - Don't wait until April or May to get on the installation  schedule. 

 - We begin installations as soon as the ice is safely off the lake
