When the yachting season comes to an end, proper winterization becomes crucial for preserving your vessel’s condition. One of the most important steps is winter cover installation — an effective way to shield your yacht from winter’s harsh elements, UV rays, and debris.
Outdrives and stern drives form the backbone of your yacht’s propulsion system. These hybrid systems offer the power of inboard engines combined with the agility of outboards—perfect for performance and maneuverability. However, to keep them running at their best, regular service is essential.
