Default Re: Water Shut Off

Air temp was 38 degrees over weekend. Has nothing to do with water temp- but with them freezing and breaking.

Winterization is a pain in the ass. They also have to be blown empty with compressed air and disconnect and empty the sag loops on the flexible slack hose sections.

So it's a great big pain in the ass to do in January. We used to do that that the Sea Venture marina in Highlands every year until we sold it 10 years ago.

Nice place , respectful dock workers,clean facilities, close gas dock,And secure
docks.. Now for the thing that disturbes me the most they shut off the dock water on Nov.1st, even though my lease runs through Dec?15th.
The bay water temp is 60'today,



don't the people who run this place have any consideration for the fall fishermen??? They told me the water is on at the fuel dock?? What do I do flush my engine and row back to my slip. When do most other private marinas shut off the water.
