Service & scheduling questions.
Are you really based at Foss Harbor Marina?
Yes — Slip Side Marine operates out of Foss Harbor Marina on Dock Street. If your boat is slipped at Foss Harbor, our shop is a few docks away and we're often on-site the same day you call.
How fast can you service my boat at Foss Harbor?

Do I need to give you gate or dock access at Foss Harbor?
Foss Harbor tenants can leave a key in the office or text us the gate code. We coordinate with Foss Harbor staff every day, so access is rarely an issue.
Which services do you offer to Foss Harbor tenants?
All five — spring commissioning, fall winterization, annual engine service, electrical service, and pre-purchase inspection — at the same fixed prices listed on our services page.
Where do I park when meeting you at Foss Harbor?
Foss Harbor has tenant parking on Dock Street and additional public parking along Thea Foss Waterway. You don't need to be present for the job — most owners aren't.
