A typical day

May: boats coming out of storage, spring commissioning, impellers, lower unit oil, battery checks, and new boats to rig with motors and electronics. July: a customer's outboard died on the lake, tow it in, diagnose a fuel problem, water-test it. Long days in the heat. October: winterizing and shrink-wrapping by the dozen. January: quiet, or snowmobiles if the dealer sells them.
