It's summer, the sun is shining, the weather is warming up and that means it is boating season! Here is a quick guide put together by some of our agents to help get you ready for the water.
Prepping your boat for the season is by far one of the most important parts.

You want to make sure that your boat is ready for any adventures you might make. 

This guide can be used for various types of boats and is for all levels of boaters, whether you are a beginner, just a passenger or you've been on the water for years. 
Spring Preperation:
  • Get the boat serviced - Just like a car, your boat motor and other equipment that needs to be regularly serviced. 
    • Check engine fluids, change the oil, etc. 
    • Hours of use services (just like mileage) 
    • Check over the trailer lights, tires and runners 
    • Don't forget the fuel!
    • Our agents suggest using Seafoam - get the details by clicking the link
    • Electrical check (lights are hard to fix in the dark!) 
  • Clean and gear up -   Have your boat ready for just about anything
    • ​Clean and polish any necessary parts
    • Sail boats: check rigging and sails for loose strands, strays or tears
    • Load up life jackets, safety gear, buoys
    • First aid kit 
    • Emergency fuel
  • In the water - Make a lap to double check
    • ​​Ensure motor and controls are working properly
    • Park the boat on lift or dock
and finally.... ENJOY! 

End of season: 
  • Clean the boat (wash, wax) 
  • Winterize service if not stored in a heated garage/facility
