Boat Winterization for Haldimand Boaters
Hartzel Marine winterizes boats from across Haldimand County every fall, from Cayuga and Caledonia on the river to Port Maitland, Selkirk, Lowbanks and Nanticoke on the lake. Trailer in or arrange a haul; the work is the same proper process on every boat.

Engine fogging, antifreeze through the cooling system, fuel stabilizer in a full tank, lower-unit and engine fluids, battery off and stored. River boats and lake boats finish the season with different stresses, but they all need the same careful job before an Ontario winter, and we log every step against the boat so next year's tech already knows it.
What you get
- Engine fogging (two- and four-stroke)
- Antifreeze through cooling system
- Lower-unit oil change
- Fuel stabilizer added to a full tank
- Battery disconnect and optional indoor storage
- Documented winterization record
Why Hartzel for Haldimand
- 01 Your county shop.
Dunnville is in Haldimand, so most of the county is a short trailer away. No shipping a boat out of the region for real mechanical work.
- 02 River and lake both.
Grand River boats from Cayuga and Caledonia, Lake Erie boats from Port Maitland, Selkirk and Lowbanks. Different wear, same careful diagnosis.
- 03 Authorized Tohatsu dealer.
Factory-trained Tohatsu service and OEM parts, plus full work on Mercury, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki.
- 04 Seasonal, sorted.
Winterize, shrink wrap and store in one fall drop-off, then a spring tune-up that has the boat launch-ready.
- 05 One file per boat.
Every job is logged against the hull, so the next visit starts from what we already did.
