It's that time

[Slvr Bulit]

Going to pull the docks and lifts out this coming weekend and winterize the boat. How long are you going to keep yours in?

[Mainely Wake]

Even though it’s getting chilly to go in the water already I will be pulling October 8th

Finished winterizing mine yesterday. Docks will be in about 2 weeks.

We usually make it to mid-October / first week of November here in SW Michigan. Water temps start to dip, but there's still plenty of chances for a nice day through about then.

It's kind of funny that come April, we'll be all in when the water temp reaches the upper 40's / low 50's, and the air finally hits upper 60's.... then after a nice summer.... we start to whine when the water drops back into the 60's and we might see a high air temp in the low 70's come October... hahaha.

hanging on hopefully to mid october... but after what feels like almost no rain for 3 months, forecast is just wet and chilly for a few weeks. itll be rain that forces us off before the cold does i think

They just approved the fall extension on our lake, so it won't start being drained until mid-October. Hoping to make it until almost Thanksgiving before I have to pull the boat out.

I have buddies that keep their boat at the marina dry stack and only winterize last minute when needed -- it's nice to have them around when we get a couple warm days in December or January to get out and ride.

It takes us three weekends to leave the lake. I’ll pull the prostar Oct 14, take out the docks and lifts with the neighbours on the 21 and close up the cottage last weekend in October. We winterize the cottage like the boat, drain the water and add a bit of pink to the toilet, sink drains and water heater and let it freeze over the winter (it’s three season, we don’t have heat other than a small electric space heater for early/late in the season).

Like 86 we get things going fast in the spring, last week of April we open up and get the docks out and first week of May we float!

Dock is pulled in and the boats are on the driveway at the lake so I can still launch to ski. Plan to winterize next week.

I'll pull the MC, lift, and half the dock around mid-October.

The pontoon and the rest of the dock stays until as late as the first week of December. The pontoon has Sea Legs and a power cover, so I can easily use it and it's really easy when it's time to pull it out.

I'm in SE Michigan.

Still enjoying the season. TRL water temp is hanging in there in the mid and low 80's. Will reluctantly switch it off for good in a few weeks.

[Upnorth07]

Looks like this coming weekend in Minnesota will be warm (low 80s) so probably one last opportunity to get on the water. Docks come out later next week (10/6) and boat gets winterized 10/23 and off to storage 10/28.

[lakedrum03]

Winterizing the boat on Saturday. Pulling docks on Sunday.

End of October for me.
