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.
