Expert Marine Winterization Services

KKM has been winterizing and shrink wrapping boats since 2009. We have developed an efficient pricing package to keep things simple.

 

Our standard Boat Winterization service includes winterizing Engine(s), Genset(s), and all systems by first flushing with fresh water. We will coat all metal components with a marine corrosion inhibitor. Disconnect Batteries if requested.  If the vessel has gas engines, then the engines will be fogged with fogging oil.  Winterization service utilizes “-50 F” non-toxic anti-freeze.  Prices for winterization do not include the cost of antifreeze. Antifreeze cost is determined by the industry market value at time of service.   

 

Our shrink wrap service is also reasonably priced according to the size of your boat. We include two moisture packs in our boat wrapping price but you can request more for a small fee per pack. If you will need to access the interior of your boat during the winter, we offer shrink wrap doors that can be installed.

Facts About Boat Winterization

Whether your boat will be kept on land or in the water, it is imperative that you have it winterized. Here’s a formidable fact from Boat US:

“Fresh water expands in volume by about nine percent when it freezes and can push outwards with a force of tens of thousands of pounds per square inch. That expansion can crack an engine block, damage fiberglass, split hoses, or destroy a refrigeration system overnight.”

That fact alone should instill in you enough fear and respect to have your boat winterized without question. Way too often, repairing freeze damage involves replacing the complete engine which is not only time consuming but quite costly.

Of course, the most preferred method of storing your boat throughout the winter would be inside a climate-controlled facility with a backup generator. However, most people don’t have that option. So, then it comes down to leaving your boat in the water or storing it on the hard. Either option has its pros and cons.

Perhaps you’ll be keeping your boat in the water for the winter.  If so, here’s a list of things that are imperative to do:

Why Winterize Your Boat?

Spending a little money now could save you a lot of money later. Old man winter can be very harsh on your boat. Cracked blocks, corrosion, fuel degradation, accumulated ice can split open hatches and window tracks, dry and cracking vinyl, mold, mildew and corrosion of electronics are just some of the things that can happen due to not winterizing your boat.

Plan ahead. When boating season gets here, you want to get out in the water as quick as possible. If you have damage from the winter weather or a maintenance problem that needed to be taken care of and you wait until the new boating season, which is one of the busiest seasons for the boat specialists, your fun in the sun could be delayed quite a bit. Not to mention that most insurance policies do not cover damage due to neglect or lack of maintenance.

Shrink Wrapping Your Boat

Winterizing and shrink wrapping a boat go hand in hand. If you don’t have the option of keeping your boat covered in a climate-controlled boat storage, you should definitely consider shrink wrapping.

Some of the benefits are:

  • Keep moisture and pests out
  • Protects from UV rays
  • Stronger than tarps, boat covers or boat canopies so it can withstand high winds
  • Protects from ice damage
  • Protects your deck and gel coat

Of course, if you have a Custom-made cover for your boat, then shrink wrapping will not be needed. However, since it can be quite expensive for a custom-fitted cover, many boaters forego this investment. But you definitely don’t want to go to the other extreme and use just anything to cover your boat for the winter. Here’s a couple of covers that Kompletely Kustom Marine does not recommend and why:

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the winterization service? add remove

The winterization service includes winterizing the entire vessel i.e. all engines, generators, water systems (both fresh water and raw water), toilets, shower sumps, wash downs, ice makers, HVAC units, dish washers, washing machines, water heaters, and anything else that may be required on your vessel. In short, the entire vessel will be winterized.

What's included in the shrink wrapping service? add remove

Your boat will be shrink wrapped to the waterline (unless your boat is physically too big for the 40’ wide shrink wrap to reach the water line.  It includes one moisture bag/bucket and all necessary vents.  It includes all necessary materials to create the custom frame that will be needed to shrink wrap your vessel.

How are your prices lower than everyone elses? add remove

After being in business over 10 years, we have developed a proprietary winterization process which is much more efficient than traditional protocol.  After years of winterizing via our proprietary method we have historical and statistical data in which we have used to develop our flat rate pricing.  Our price is to winterize the entire vessel.  We do not offer “a la carte” pricing for winterization like most service companies do.
