This winter after-use checklist guides skippers through safe post-cruise procedures: adjust and inspect docklines and fenders; reconnect shore power in a safe sequence and verify polarity; reset trim tabs; open engine compartment to inspect for fluids, check engine hours and fuel; turn off diesel heat and DC circuits; power down instruments (chartplotter, autopilot, VHF) and complete logbook entries; set cabin heaters, clear perishables, and stow gear; secure flybridge, canvas, and cockpit; wash down if salty; set hatches and windows; lock the cabin; switch off all batteries and confirm parallel switch off; and finish with a final dockline and fender check.

Pre-Use Startup Checklist for Winter Boating
This winter pre-use startup checklist guides skippers through a safe, organized departure. Steps include disconnecting shore power and confirming AC breakers, checking battery voltages and DC circuits, starting diesel heat if needed, inspecting the engine compartment for frost, fluids, oil, and coolant, opening the raw-water seacock and clearing the strainer, and reviewing belts and alternator. At the helm, power up ignition, chartplotter, VHF, autopilot, and arm the bilge alarm; note engine hours, fuel estimates, and make a logbook entry. Prepare the cabin by stowing heaters and loose items, inspect and inflate the dinghy to spec, remove flybridge covers, ensure neutral throttle, then start up, enable thrusters, cast off lines, and depart.

Early Departure Check
Ensure a smooth, safe handover when guests depart early. This checklist guides staff through bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, lounge, and general checks: close windows and doors, switch off lights and sockets, unplug appliances, set radiators and boilers to winter mode, check taps for drips, set fridge to low or 4 degrees, and record maintenance issues. Verify smoke alarms, CO2 alarms, fire extinguisher status, gas certificates, and hot tub power off. Add photos, comments, and complete sign off.

Winter Site Checklist for Fuel Stations
This winter site checklist helps fuel and convenience sites stay safe and operational in cold weather. Inspect outdoor lighting, canopy and monument signage, parking lots, snow removal, and cleanliness. Verify pump islands, bollards, trash areas, sidewalks, and tank covers are clear and salted. Check dumpster and outdoor displays for ice hazards and visible signage. Assess car wash operations including heat pads, bay heat, doors, windows, and the code box. Inside, confirm dry entryways, maintained rugs, and wet floor signage. Use this guide to reduce slips, keep equipment working, and ensure a clean, compliant site.
