After a slow start, spring is finally here, and we are moving quickly towards boating season. That means it's time to get your boat cleaned up and ready for action!
This winter was unusually severe and had the potential to cause problems even newer and well-maintained boats. Every boat should be checked thoroughly before being put in the water to prevent problems from ruining your first outings of the summer.
Though not a complete list, the following items should be checked before taking your boat onto the water:
Battery, starter, alternator and bilge pump
Bottom paint to determine if it needs to be repainted or touched up
Fuel, oils & other fluids which may have deteriorated or become contaminated
