When winter comes to an end, your boat needs a careful reactivation to ensure it’s ready for the new season. Spring commissioning at Racine Riverside Marine is a comprehensive service that brings all systems back online, verifies proper operation, and prepares your vessel for safe, smooth performance on the water. It’s the essential first step toward a problem-free boating season.
Our technicians begin by undoing the winterization process and inspecting critical components such as the engine, drives, batteries, cooling systems, and electrical circuits. Fluids are checked and replaced where needed, fuel systems are evaluated, and safety equipment is reviewed for compliance and functionality. Every task is performed with precision to ensure that your boat powers up reliably after months of storage.
At Racine Riverside Marine, we’re committed to making your boating experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free from day one. With hundreds of boats stored, serviced, and managed each season, having the right paperwork completed early and accurately ensures everything goes exactly how you want it to — whether you’re storing your vessel, reserving a slip, or scheduling service.
Think of your paperwork like prepping your boat for the season — a little attention up front leads to maximum enjoyment out on the water.
