When you buy a boat, you like to focus on the “big” wins. It
makes sense. You want a great price on the boat. You don’t want to spend too
much on a new paint job or an expensive hull repair. But what if there were a
number of smaller DIY boat accessories that could make those boat repair and
cleaning jobs easier? Here are a few of our favorite boat maintenance
accessories to help you get the job done yourself.
Empty Cartridge With
Plunger
Empty Cartridge
with Plunger. Applying a Life-Calk Sealant
the right way can save you untold amounts of money in future repairs—especially
if you know how to handle it yourself. We recommend having empty cartridges
with plungers on hand to make application as smooth as possible. If you want
consistency in the way you apply your sealant, then you’ll need consistency
when it comes to your tools. Buy up a bunch of our empty cartridges and you’ll
have no problem achieving exactly that.
Release® Adhesive
& Sealant Remover
Release
Adhesive & Sealant Remover. There’s a good argument to be made
that this isn’t an “accessory” at all—it may be downright necessary. After all,
removing adhesives and sealants can be time-consuming and, when done
improperly, lead to more damage than is necessary. But this adhesive and
sealant remover comes in a small, handy, accessory-like package, so you’ll want
to include it in any boat restoration and cleaning kit.
Fix Repair Putty
Fix Repair Putty – 3
Ounces (0r 16 oz.). You don’t always have time to handle the repairs to the
fullest extent possible, which means you’ll need an “emergency” solution that
you can rely on. That’s where Fix Repair Putty comes in. When you apply repair
putty to a problem with your boat, you can count on it to cure hard, allowing
you to sand, drill, screw, and paint. And since it cures underwater, you won’t
have to worry about that issue, either.
Life Scrub-All
Life Scrub-All.
Imagine if scrubbing didn’t have to be all that hard. If you do have something
on your boat in need of serious scrubbing, Life Scrub-All is there to handle
plenty of the labor—meaning you won’t have to break your back just to get
things looking good again. This scrubber is made from heavy duty marine
stainless steel, which is perfect for the boating environment—and better than
that kitchen scrubber you’ve been using. We also offer a lifetime guarantee
that it won’t corrode or disintegrate.
