Engine Maintenance is very important; but, with a Pontoon Boat, there are many other issues to consider. One area that is
often overlooked is small leaks in the pontoons. You don't necessarily have to hit a submerged stump, log or other object in the water to cause a leak in your pontoons. Just general use will often cause small
leaks.
Pontoons that have water in them will increase the weight of your boat
and put an extra load on your engine causing reduced performance and increased fuel consumption. It is a good idea to have your pontoons check every couple
of years. If you notice that one pontoon sits lower in the water than the other pontoon, you can be sure there is water in that pontoon that needs to be removed.
Locating and fixing leaking pontoons takes specialized equipment and needs to be done by a service company. Specialized aluminum
welding techniques will be required to weld the specific area/areas on the pontoon that are leaking.
Lake Conroe Marine is equipped to remove the water and repair any damage
to your pontoons with specialty welding equipment and experienced technicians. If you do not have a trailer for your boat, we provide a pick-up service
at several of the local marinas.
