Seasonal care

Spring Commissioning

Getting a boat ready for the season is about more than the engine. American Marine's spring commissioning covers the boat from bow to stern, engine, systems, safety gear, and everything in between, so nothing gets missed on the way back into the water.

What's included

Every System Checked Before Launch

Engine & drive systems

Engine and drive systems checked and confirmed ready, from the initial start up through a full operational check.

Plumbing & through hulls

Fresh water systems, sanitation systems, and through hull fittings inspected for leaks and proper operation before launch.

Steering & control cables

Steering, throttle, and shift cables checked for smooth, reliable operation before you are back on the water.

Canvas, covers & rigging

Winter covers removed, canvas inspected, and rigging or hardware checked over for anything that needs attention.

Why it matters

Why Commissioning Covers More Than The Engine

A boat is more than its engine

An engine that starts fine does not mean every system on board is ready, which is why commissioning looks at the whole boat, not just the ignition.

Small leaks are easier to catch on land

A slow leak in a through hull fitting or a hose is far easier to find and fix at the dock than to discover once you are underway.

One thorough pass beats several small trips

A full commissioning catches issues across every system in one visit, instead of finding them one at a time over the first few weeks of the season.

Ready for the whole season, not just the first day

A proper spring commissioning means your boat is ready for everything the season brings, not just the first trip out. Stop in and we will get you scheduled.
