Boating Hardware and Maintenance Supplies
When you own a boat, it is important to know what you will need to go along with it. A boat is a lot of work and requires a lot of
safety as well as your boat's safety.
'''''During the colder seasons''''',
winterizing your boat is a must. To do this:
* While the enging is running, run a
fogging solution through it, this will protect all of the internal parts.
* Now, spray an
Corrosion X, all over the outside parts of your boat's engine.
* Next, drain the engine and refill it with a good
lower unit gear oil with new.
* Finally, disconnect any batteries and store your boat for next season!
By doing this every winter, your boat will stay looking fresh as soon as you drop it back in the water! You can also take the
fuel stabilizer to prevent condensation from building in your gas tank!
Hardware Maintenance
Each part of the boat requires a different type of maintenance. It is important to know what and what not to
clean certain surfaces with.
Here are a few tips that you should know:
* The live well needs to be dried, so that no odor will be left. '''DO NOT GET SOAP IN THE LIVE WELL.'''
* The bait freezer should be kept clean at all time to avoid any odor, with all bait sealed tightly and frozen solid.
* Aluminum hardware needs to have a good coat of
aluminum wax for added protection.
* Stainless steel hardware also needs to be
stainless steel wax so that water will repel and no rust will occur.
