It's Time to Get the Dock Checked!

Your dock is an important part of your spring and summer experience at the Lake of the Ozarks. Without it, your sunny days of boating, skiing, and swimming would be really different... and definitely not as fun. With all the work they do for us, docks can really take a beating and get worn down. As the best dock accessory manufacturer in the St. Louis area, Firstmate Controls knows just what it takes to keep a dock in top condition. Read on to learn why it's important to perform a dock check before the spring season begins!


Why Docks Need Check-Ups


Rough water conditions can take a big toll on your dock, the lift, and all its hardware, especially if you aren't in a protected cove. As large boats pas by and send waves into your dock over and over, it puts a strain on all the fittings of your dock. Eventually these pieces will wear out and break, so it's important to stay on top of how they are doing with regular check-ups.

When to Schedule Check-Ups


Now is a great time to schedule a check-up of your dock and all its components! In fact, at Firstmate Controls, we are currently running an off-season dock check special. From now through February, you can receive 10% off your next 2020 summer season support/parts when you schedule an off season dock check. Schedule yours by visiting our website or by giving us a call at the office: 866-570-9707.


What Do We Check? 


There are a lot of components to a dock. If you walk out to your dock to take a peek, you might not see everything that is going on and potentially miss an important element. That's why our checks are thorough. Some of the areas we inspect during a check-up include...

  • Blower Boxes
  • Lift Structure
  • Air in Lifts
  • Ramps
  • Cables
  • Bolts
  • Bushings
  • Hoses
  • Dock Framing
  • Posts
  • Purlins
  • Roof Panels
  • And More!

We can check private docks as well as community docks, so go ahead and pick up the phone and give us a call! We help provide peace of mind that your dock is in the best shape possible for the spring season.
