Norris Lake Boat Servicing

Dockside service is Premier Watersports' signature offering at Norris Lake, designed specifically for lake property owners who want to maximize their limited time on the water. Our factory-trained technicians travel directly to your dock anywhere on Norris Lake's 800+ miles of shoreline, performing maintenance and repairs while your boat remains in the water at your private dock or marina slip. This eliminates the hassle of removing your boat from the water, trailering it to a service center, and returning it to the lake—a process that can consume an entire weekend for out-of-state owners. Our dockside service includes routine maintenance (oil changes, impeller replacements, tune-ups), diagnostics and minor repairs, stereo and electronics installation, pre-season preparation, and winterization services. For out-of-state owners from Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Dayton, we can schedule service during the week when you're away, ensuring your boat is ready to enjoy during your weekend visits. Our service team are fully equipped with tools, diagnostic equipment, and commonly needed parts, allowing us to complete most services on-site in a single visit.

Scheduling service for your boat at Premier Watersports Norris Lake is simple and convenient, with options designed specifically for both local and out-of-state owners. You can request an appointment by calling our service department directly at 423.449.8403, using our online scheduling form on our website, or visiting our service center in person. For out-of-state owners from Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Dayton, we offer remote scheduling via phone, email, or our online portal, with confirmation sent directly to your mobile device. When scheduling, please provide details about your boat (make, model, year), service needed, and dock location on Norris Lake. For routine maintenance, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance, especially during peak boating season (May-September). Many out-of-state owners schedule service during weekdays when they're away, ensuring their boat is ready for weekend use. For dockside service, we'll need access instructions for your dock or marina slip. We also offer service packages that can be scheduled for the entire season, with routine maintenance automatically performed at appropriate intervals without requiring additional scheduling from you.

Yes, Premier Watersports offers comprehensive winterization services at Norris Lake, with special options designed for out-of-state owners. Our winterization package includes engine fogging, fuel stabilization, antifreeze protection for all water systems, battery maintenance, drive system preparation, interior protection, and exterior coverage recommendations. What sets our Norris Lake winterization service apart is our ability to perform it dockside at your private dock or marina slip, eliminating the need for you to remove your boat from the water at season's end. For out-of-state owners from Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Dayton, we can schedule winterization after your final fall visit, ensuring your boat is properly protected without requiring an additional trip to the lake. We recommend scheduling winterization in late October or early November, before East Tennessee temperatures consistently drop below freezing. Our complete winterization package includes spring de-winterization, ensuring your boat is ready for your first spring visit. This comprehensive service is particularly valuable for out-of-state owners who can't be present for seasonal transitions.

We offer monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly inspection schedules depending on your needs. After significant weather events, we can perform additional checks to ensure your boat hasn't been affected. Our monitoring service includes sending you digital photos of your boat and dock area upon request, providing peace of mind when you're away. For boats kept in the water, we can arrange for periodic exercise runs to keep engines and systems functioning properly. Before your planned visits, we can prepare your boat by removing covers, charging batteries, checking systems, and even cleaning the interior and exterior so it's ready to enjoy immediately upon your arrival.

For boats used at Norris Lake, we recommend a service schedule tailored to both the lake's unique conditions and your usage patterns. For weekend visitors from Cincinnati, Lexington, Louisville, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Dayton, your boat likely sees concentrated use during visits rather than consistent weekly operation. In this usage pattern, we recommend engine oil and filter changes every 50 hours of operation or at least twice per season (early summer and late summer). Norris Lake's exceptionally clean water means less strain on cooling systems, but impellers should still be replaced annually to prevent overheating issues. Drive system fluids should be checked and changed annually. We recommend a comprehensive inspection at the beginning of each season (typically March/April) and winterization at the end of the season (October/November). For wake boats used heavily for surfing during weekend visits, we recommend mid-season check-ups to ensure ballast systems and surf systems are functioning properly. Boats kept in slips at Norris Lake marinas benefit from bottom cleaning and zinc anode inspection mid-season. For out-of-state owners, we offer service packages that automatically schedule these maintenance intervals without requiring your presence, ensuring your boat remains in optimal condition despite your limited time at the lake.
