DOCK   BOX   DILEMMA   SOLVED

Don’t know what to do with your dock box for the winter?

I can help you. I will pick up your dock box from the Suttons Bay Marina, store it for the winter, and return it to your slip in the spring.
 
Cost will be $45 for pick-up, storage and return, paid in advance.
If you live in the Suttons Bay area and want to store it at home but have no way to transport it, I will pick it up for $10 and deliver it for $1 per loaded mile, one way.
 
Conditions: your box must be empty, unlocked, and marked on the outside with your name and slip number. IMPORTANT: After emptying your box, it must be weighted with rocks, cement blocks, 5-gal buckets filled with water or tie-downs that are easily removed. Rocks or cement blocks will be removed and left at your slip for the winter. Buckets or tie-downs will be placed inside your box and replaced in the spring. Also, the lock hasp must be secured with a small bolt or heavy wire after the padlock has been removed.
 
Boxes will be picked up periodically beginning in mid-September and will conclude by October 15. They will be replaced between May 1 and May 15. Every reasonable effort will be made to handle boxes with care, however, I will not be responsible for boxes that are not strong enough to withstand transportation. The boxes will be stored on my property and will be supervised throughout the winter.
