By MSW -

Dock safety is INCREDIBLY important. You never know when tragedy can strike or an accident may occur. It's important to do everything in your power to make sure your dock is safe. That's where our boat lift remote control company comes in! We provide Off Season Dock Safety Checks November - February! To learn more about that service please give us a call. We can be reached at 866-570-9707. To book this service for yourself, please visit HERE. In the meantime, keep reading this week's blog to learn more about the importance of getting a good off season dock safety check.



EVERYTHING THAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR OFF SEASON DOCK SAFETY CHECKS 

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...

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

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.


THE MAIN REASON YOU SHOULD GET YOUR DOCK CHECKED

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 pass 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 YOU SHOULD BE SCHEDULING YOUR OFF SEASON DOCK SAFETY CHECK

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.

  The weather outside might be frightful, but this is the perfect time to get prepared for next year's boating season! Have you found yourself daydreaming or spending time staring out at the water reminiscing about the great times you had on the water this past season?  Firstmate Controls understands your frustration. We want to share some great ideas to occupy your time during these cold winter months that will get you excited and ready for next year's boating season! Inspect Your Life Preservers Lifejackets that don't get used much and spend most of their time tucked away in the wells of your boat may not be in as good of shape as they should be. Even though they might not get used that often, they still need to be in top shape if there were an incident that arises that you will need to use a lifejacket. If yours aren't in good condition they're not going to be much help in saving a life. Take time to visually inspect every lifejacket for rips, tears, holes, etc.
