The questions your team needs answered
Every annual boat maintenance intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of boat needs maintenance? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Do you currently own this boat? | Confirmed owners score higher because they can authorize work and pay for it, unlike a prospective buyer or broker filling out the form on someone else's behalf. |
| Where is the boat currently stored? | A boat kept in water at a private dock is flagged as urgent since ongoing water exposure without regular hauling can accelerate hull and system issues. |
| Which systems do you want serviced? | Each selected system carries its own weight, so a request covering engine, hull, and electrical work scores higher than a single safety-equipment check. |
| When was the boat last serviced? | A boat that's never been serviced or hasn't been touched in over two years signals a longer, more involved visit than one serviced within the past year. |
| When would you like this maintenance completed? | An as-soon-as-possible timeline carries the highest weight, letting your team distinguish same-week requests from flexible pre-season planning. |
| Are there any known issues you want inspected or addressed? | Free-text details on known issues give your team a head start on diagnosing scope before the boat ever reaches the yard. |

Built for annual boat maintenance workflows

| Multi-select service checklist | The systems question lets owners flag engine, hull, electrical, plumbing, and safety checks individually, so quotes can reflect actual scope instead of a generic 'annual service.' |
| Automatic lead scoring | Storage location, ownership status, and desired timeline combine into a single score, surfacing in-water dock jobs with an ASAP timeline ahead of flexible pre-season inquiries. |
| Photo and document capture | Hull and engine compartment photos plus prior service records are collected before the call, cutting down on yard-visit surprises. |
| CRM routing | Qualified maintenance requests, scored and tagged by system and urgency, land directly in your CRM instead of a shared inbox. |
Example annual boat maintenance lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
In-water boat, wants service ASAP
A boat kept at a private dock with an as-soon-as-possible timeline hits both the urgency and value signals, and should surface at the top of the queue.
Full system overhaul request
An owner selects engine, hull, electrical, and safety equipment in one submission, signaling a bigger job worth a proper inspection slot rather than a quick check.
Boat never serviced before
Someone flags the boat as never serviced with issues noted in the free-text field, which tells your team to plan for a longer first visit before quoting yard time.
Pre-season, flexible timeline
An owner wants maintenance done before the season starts but has no fixed date, which should be routed differently than a same-week request.
Not the boat's owner
Someone filling out the intake who doesn't currently own the boat scores lower, helping you avoid booking yard time for a sale that may not close.

Annual Boat Maintenance lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake ask where the boat is currently kept?
Yes, owners select whether the boat is at a marina, in dry storage, on a trailer, or in water at a private dock. A boat in water at a private dock is treated as a higher-urgency signal since it may need attention sooner.
What happens if the person filling out the form doesn't own the boat?
The ownership question carries its own weight, so non-owners still get scored, but they score lower than confirmed owners, which helps your team prioritize genuine work over inquiries from prospective buyers.
Can I see which systems the customer wants serviced before I call them back?
Yes, the multi-select systems question captures engine, hull and bottom, electrical, plumbing, and safety equipment choices individually, so you know the scope before you pick up the phone.
How does the intake handle a boat that's never been serviced?
The last-serviced question includes a 'never serviced' option, and combined with the free-text field for known issues, it flags leads that likely need a longer first visit rather than a routine check.
Does this intake overlap with the winterization or engine repair intakes?
No, this form is scoped to annual maintenance across engine, hull, electrical, plumbing, and safety checks. Boat Winterization and Boat Engine Repair are separate subservices with their own intake questions.
What photos or documents does the intake collect upfront?
Owners are prompted for hull and engine compartment photos, plus a recent service record if one exists, so your team can gauge condition before scheduling yard time.
