Winter Preparation recommendations:

1. Pump out holding tanks and fresh water tanks before haul out. You can pump out at the Log
Pond at no charge as a courtesy to our winter storage customers. This must be done prior to
haul out for proper winter storage. Pump out station and waterlines on docks are winterized by
mid November and dock carts will be removed.

2. It is mandatory that sails and canvas are removed and stored in your boat or taken home.

3. Pull knot meter paddle wheel and replace with your safety plug to avoid damage while in
slings. All valuables, especially electronics (VHF radios, stereos, fishfinders, GPS) should be
removed from the boat for winter storage.

4. No dinghies may be left on docks or in the water during the winter. If you have a dinghy stored
at the Water Street Marina you will be responsible for storage charges after October 31.

5. All dock lines and fenders will be placed in the cockpit after haul out.

6. It is recommended you check on your boat after haul out and during the winter months. The
boat’s bilge must be kept dry throughout the winter. If notified of water in the bilge, the owner
has one week to bail the boat. After one week the Marina will bail the boat at our current
hourly charge with a minimum fee of one hour.

7. All boats are brought up from Havre de Grace Marina at the Log Pond under their own power.
Towing is done only in emergency situations.

8. If your boat requires a bridge opening, we will schedule it in accordance with your haul out
date. We prefer to take your boat through for you. The bridge needs 24 hour advance notice
and we are required to be waiting in sight of the bridge workman 15 to 20 minutes prior to
scheduled opening time. They do not monitor the radio and openings can be postponed at the
last minute in adverse weather conditions. We discourage last minute scheduling. The bridge

is regulated by the Coast Guard, due to navigable waters north of the bridge and it opens at
no cost to mariners.

9. We will remove outboard engines from brackets only if you are storing them with us or
requested on a signed work order.

10. If you need a ladder to access your boat, please bring one. All ladders must be removed from
the yard by 5pm each day or chained to the designated area by the dingy rack. Loose ladders
will be collected and locked in storage at a fee to the owner each time the ladder is moved.

11. For safety purposes, winter covers are not to be secured to jack stands. Do not tie anything to
the jack stands.

12. All boats should be locked with a spare key or combination number provided to the Marina
with an identification tag.
