If you plan on leaving your boat in the slip, please insure that the lines are in good shape and do not dangle in the water causing a potential hazard to the anti-ice bubblers. Be sure to check your boat on a regular basis during the winter as you have during the season.

If you are removing your boat from the slip for the winter, make sure you take your lines with you or secure them to the piling so that they are not in the water. Stray lines will be removed.

Please inform the Slips Committee when you remove your boat so they know the slip is available for temporary use while your boat is out.

When the first freeze is imminent, the marina water will be turned off and drained, and the pump-out will be winterized , so please plan accordingly. This usually occurs in the second half of November, but will be earlier if necessary. Water hoses must be secured and removed prior to dock winterization. Unsecured hoses will be removed by Piers and Harbors. Contact the Operations Committee if you need more information.

Piers and Harbors will be offering winter slip rentals for Hillsmere residents and property owners ONLY. Contact the Slips Committee if you are interested in renting a winter slip. All rules regarding proof of ownership and insurance apply.
