Boat Shrink Wrapping in Cheboygan, Mullett Lake & the Straits

Cheboygan sits where the inland-lakes chain meets the Straits of Mackinac. Boats come out of Cheboygan County Marina, Duncan Bay, Indian River, and Mullett Lake storage with nowhere to hide from lake-effect snow and a hard freeze. We wrap on-site so a tarp does not sag into the cockpit all winter. See all service areas →

Built for Straits wind and inland-lake snow load.

Straits gusts load a cover sideways; Mullett and Burt dump wet snow that freezes in place. A vented shrink wrap sheds both, and we winterize the engine and plumbing so freeze-thaw on the chain of lakes does not crack a block.

Boat Shrink Wrapping

Custom, vented shrink wrap that sheds snow and stops moisture, with no sagging and no mildew.

Engine Winterization

Full engine winterization - antifreeze, fogging, stabilizer - so spring startup is trouble-free.

Plumbing & Systems

Drain and protect freshwater, head and washdown systems from freeze damage.

Mobile Service

We come to your home, storage lot or marina, so you do not have to haul it to us.

Storage Prep

Battery, cover and layup prep so your boat sits safe all winter.

Spring De-Wrap

Optional spring un-wrap and recycling so you are ready to launch.

The Cheboygan River locks in ice early.

Wet snow on a loose cover can collapse canvas, crack gelcoat, and flood a cockpit, and an engine that is not winterized can crack a block — a $5,000+ mistake. Wrap after haul-out from Duncan Bay or Mullett, before the first heavy snow. Fall slots fill fast.

Questions we get asked.

When should I wrap a Cheboygan boat?

Right after fall haul-out from the Cheboygan River, Duncan Bay, or Mullett Lake — before Straits storms and inland-lake ice. Slots fill once the first squall hits.

Do you wrap at marinas and inland lakes?

Yes. We wrap at Cheboygan County Marina, Duncan Bay, Indian River, Mullett Lake, Burt Lake, and home or storage lots off the chain.

How much does shrink wrapping cost?

Pricing is by boat length: roughly $18/ft to wrap, or about $28/ft wrapped and winterized. Send the form for an exact quote.

Why not a tarp on Mullett Lake?

Inland-lake snow load sits. Tarps sag, hold meltwater, and tear in Straits wind. A vented shrink wrap sheds snow, stays tight, and keeps mildew out of the cabin.

Do you winterize the engine too?

Yes — full engine and plumbing winterization so a Cheboygan freeze-thaw cycle does not split a block or a fitting.
