WINTER STORAGE AND DECOMMISSIONING CHECKLIST

KEYS and/or COMBINATIONS

Boat keys must be on file for all winter-stored boats. Please be sure to provide us with a set of boat keys and/or combination. If keys are already on file, please make a note in the "Keys" section of the Winter Decommissioning Form; otherwise, arrange to drop off a set.

WINTER STORAGE CONTRACT PERIOD

Kingman Yacht Center's on-land winter storage contract period runs from November 1st through April 30th. In-water storage runs from November 16th through March 31st. While we will do our best to accommodate individual requests to extend your stay beyond the contract period if necessary, dockage and mooring space is limited. Unless other arrangements are made with the marina, vessels remaining at our docks or moorings after the winter storage contract period will be charged dockage or mooring fees at current daily rates.


SPRING LAUNCH DATE
Please note your Preferred Spring Launch Date in the top section of the Fall Decommissioning Form.. This information helps us to map out storage locations and schedule hauling most efficiently.


STORAGE LOCATION
Your storage location is determined by many factors including haul and launch dates. Although we cannot guarantee a specific position, we will consider your request. When you confirm your haul out and anticipated launch dates, we can discuss any preferred locations.


CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT PAYMENT
Kingman Yacht Center requests that all service customers set up a credit card payment system. This accounting convenience will assist us in honoring your requested launch date by avoiding last minute coordination of the required payment of outstanding bills. To do this, simply complete the Credit Card information in the "Authorization" section on your Fall Decommissioning Form, or call the Service Department at Extension 45.


CUSTOM TOTAL DECOMMISSIONING PACKAGE
Leave the decommissioning to us and we'll have your boat safely tucked away for the winter. We would be pleased to quote on a complete decommissioning package that offers you savings on numerous flat rate services. Your package will be customized according to your boat's requirements and includes a full survey of your vessel's systems.


STORAGE DISCOUNTS FOR MAJOR REPAIR JOBS
Major refits, repowers, topside recoatings, osmosis repair jobs, etc. may qualify for storage discounts or credits. Please call Blake McLaughlin at Ext. 45 to discuss your Winter projects.


RESTRICTIONS
Boat owners are restricted from performing certain types of work on their vessels. These jobs have been prohibited primarily because of extensive regulations regarding disposal of toxic waste from paints, etc., and the potential liability of unregulated use of open flame. These services, therefore, may be performed only by authorized Kingman Yacht Center personnel. For complete details regarding any restrictions, please refer to the "Winter Storage Terms & Conditions" on the reverse of your Winter Storage Contract. Thank you for your compliance. Please pay particular attention to the following:
  • No use of any open flame devices.
  • No sanding or spray painting.
  • No installation of heat shrink covers.
  • No bottom preparation or painting.
OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS MUST CHECK IN AT THE OFFICE AND SIGN THE OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS POLICY AGREEMENT BEFORE WORKING.


HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL
All waste oil, filters and batteries must be disposed of (a) where they were purchased; or (b) at the Kingman Yacht Center Parts Department counter. Our Parts Department is open Monday-Friday from 7:30 am to 4:15 pm. Handling charges: $1.50 per quart of oil, $2.00 per filter and $5.00 per battery.

Please be kind to our environment. Do not leave toxic / hazardous waste in or outside the dumpsters or in any other location on site. We live here and our children play here!


ELECTRICITY & WATER
Electricity and water are available on the property during normal decommissioning and commissioning periods only. A fee of $50.00 is charged for the use of these utilities during these periods. Electric service throughout the winter is available by special arrangement.


NO TYING OF BOAT COVERS TO STANDS/POPPETS
Boat covers are to be secured to or around your boat only. Tying covers to stands is not permitted since high winds can lift covers and shift the weight and balance of your boat. Protect your boat and your neighbors' by tying off your cover properly. Please inquire at the Main Office if you have any questions, concerns, or need our assistance.
