The Village of Oak Harbor sits on the north bank of the Portage River, about ten miles upriver from Lake Erie. The village has a hand-powered boat launch with floating docks at the south end of Church Street, and ODNR’s Portage River Water Trail runs 36 miles from Pemberville to Port Clinton. Farther north, the Lake Erie shore near Locust Point and the Toussaint River has large marinas with Oak Harbor addresses, including Wild Wings Marina, which has 900 slips, and Fenwick Marina, with 374.
That makes Oak Harbor a mix of pontoons, aluminum fishing boats and fiberglass walleye boats, many of them trailered. Aluminum pontoon logs and rails go dull and chalky. Fishing boats need cockpit cleanup after every trip, and trailered gelcoat needs regular protection.
Our shop is about 30 minutes east, toward Port Clinton, so it’s an easy stop on the way to the lake or the islands.

Oak Harbor season notes
For pontoons, aluminum and trailered fishing boats.
Pontoons and aluminum
- Clean dull pontoon logs before you polish them. Polishing over grime just smears it around.
- Bare aluminum, like rails, T-tops and towers, stays brighter when you protect it with an aluminum coating after polishing.
- Test any metal polish on a small area first. Anodized and painted aluminum need a gentler approach than bare metal.
Fishing boats and layup
- Wash the cockpit and livewell area after each trip, before the residue dries.
- For fall layup, many owners add a fuel treatment. Follow the product label and your engine maker’s instructions.
- Clean and dry the boat before covering it, so it doesn’t sit through the winter with grime and moisture on it.
