In my opinion, "summerization" is a term for something marina's have developed to increase revenue from those that don't know what their machines really need. In the spring, your battery may need charged or put back in the machine. If your oil wasn't changed with winterization, that may need done. If your spark plugs are old, a new set may be needed. Know what is needed and when (see your owners manual), then ask for those services. I winterize my own equipment, and it is all ready for summer when I'm done (minus putting the battery back in).

BTW, I can change the plugs in both my waverunners in under 10 minutes. Same for the ski boat I recently sold and I could change the oil in 15 minutes after paying about $20 for the oil and filter. Batteries take about 5 minutes each to remove or install.
