[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Big or small if you're a boat owner there's something that you will need... maintenance and more importantly preventive maintenance before, during and after the boating season![/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Quick Boating Check List:[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]1. To protect your boat against the wear and tear of weather and the sun, I suggest investing in a cover. Covers keep the boats interior in good condition. Just visit http://boatcovers.iboats.com/ to find your year, make and model to select the best cover to protect your investment.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]2. Clean hull adds drag, make sure you scrub the hull on a regular basis. Just visit www.iboats.comenter "Hull Cleaners" I like "Instant Hull Cleaner" but they will all serve the purpose.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]3. Protect your DECK and treat your feet with a good deck covering. As far a performance is concerned DECKadence marine flooring has many attributes that are appealing. It protects your deck, it's anti-slip and doesn't require much maintenance at all, the best part it's completely flow through so it stays dry.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Once only available to the boat manufactures and new boats this year they are offering a DIY DECKadence option for boaters. www.DECKadencemarine.com and www.performanceunderfoot.com[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]4. Inspect the boat for any visual sign of wear and tear. I can't tell you the times I've gazed right over small spider or hull impact cracks that if I could have repaired them with a Spectrum Color product that would have saved me time and money. Just visit http://www.iboats.com/Boat-Paint-Repair-Maintenance-Gel-Coat-Cleaners-Carpet-Epoxy/dm/view_id.11 enter "Deck Repair" or "Hull Repair" once there you can hone in on the right one for you and your deck type![/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]5. Mechanical, bilge pumps, batteries and motor maintenance need to checked on regular basis. Check your OIL and change it when needed. Make a log and enter the miles, you can do it![/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]
6. Finally electrical components need to be inspected for exposure damage, frays and so on. It's easy to upgrade to meet your power needs too.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]SO make your self a checklist and get into the routine to protect the boats that gives us the gift of pleasure![/FONT]
