Launch Maintenance & Winterization
Because a practice is only as good as the boat the coach is sitting in. Brightside provides mechanical service, structural hull repairs, bilge pumps that actually work, and secure storage for rowing programs across the Mid Atlantic. We keep your fleet of coaching launches on the water and out of the shop.
The Launch Bay
Keep your coach worry free on the water
Transport & Storage
Skip the logistics headache. We provide secure round trip transport to our Edgewater Park facility for protected storage.
Fiberglass Repairs
From dock rash to major hull damage, we provide professional grade fiberglass repairs and restoration. Done completely with epoxy for a long lasting repair.
Bilge Pump Installation
Tired of pumps delaminating and floating in the bilge? We utilize a proprietary mechanical fastening system to ensure your pump stays secured in the roughest conditions.
Bottom Paint
Protect your pontoons with a perfectly executed anti-fouling barrier. We use specialized coatings for a smooth finish that reduces drag and prevents organic growth.
Engine Service
Our comprehensive mechanical audit goes beyond a simple oil change. We perform full oil changes, gear lube replacement, fuel system stabilization, and more.
Detailing
We strip away a season’s worth of river scum and oxidation. Our detailing service includes a power washing and deep cleaning to keep your launches looking elite.
Experienced engine service
With over 40 years of engine experience
Behind every successful practice is a motor that starts right up. At Brightside, we bring over four decades of mechanical expertise to your coaching fleet. We don’t just change oil; we perform full system diagnostics to prevent the failures that stall your season.
