Since all drainage on your boat always leads to one place,
there’s nothing more important than a healthy bilge. A dirty bilge will get in
the way, make your boat less attractive, and even make your boat stink. But that’s not to say that any old bilge cleaner will do,
either. Bilge cleaner is one of the products […]
No matter how new your boat might be, if you don’t take care
of it, it’s not going to look its age. Problems like drab old aluminum, rust
stains on fiberglass, and old adhesives and sealants can affect a boat’s appearance
until it doesn’t resemble its true value. And that’s a shame. Part of the fun
of owning a […]
If there’s a lot of aluminum on your boat, then you’re
going to want to pay attention. Not only can you make your whole boating life a
lot easier by understanding how to clean this unique metal, but you can cut a whole
lot of stress out of your life as well. The problem: too many boat owners […]
You do everything you can to take care of your boat. You
clean out the bilge regularly. You check the engine, the battery, and the
electrical systems. You make replacements as they’re needed. You make sure the
entire boat is in perfect working condition so that any time you need it to
have a great time with friends, it’s […]
A new
year is upon us! After the parties, the all-you-can-eat buffets, the party
streamers, and the champagne, it’s easy to forget that every year is what we
choose to make it. This is true in every area of our lives, of course, but
there might be no better example of living on your own terms than the quality
of […]
It might seem like
winter is going to last forever—particularly if you live in a cold climate—but
spring will be here before you know it. For some people, that means picnics,
hikes, and outdoor barbecues. For avid boat owners, that means just one thing: boating
season. And if estimates relating to this winter’s El Niño phenomenon hold up, unseasonably
warm […]
As a new boat owner, you’ve relegated the idea of keeping putty
handy into the category of other “silly” ideas. After all, you figure, putty
can’t possibly be so versatile that it can handle all of those repairs it professes to handle…even handling the
rigors of being in water.You’re wrong, of course. Fix Repair Putty can be used
underwater, […]
You’ve
invested a lot of money on your boat, so it’s only reasonable that you want
your boat to look its best. And it’s not going to look its best if the graphics
are torn, faded, or simply discolored as a result of a rough winter.If you’re
a new boat owner and this is your first winter, then you’ll […]
Whether you took too long to slow the boat down and you scrape
the side of the deck, or your vinyl has been out in the water too long, there are
a lot of different ways in which your boat can be damaged. Sometimes the damage
can be very threatening–as in the case of leakage–or it can be […]
Since your boat hangs out in the water, it’s no surprise
that you’ll have to work extra hard to avoid moisture-friendly problems like
mildew. Mildew can be stinky, gross, and lead to a boat that smells musty.
That’s hardly what you want out of your boating experience, so if you want to
keep your boat as fresh as possible, […]
