Boat maintenance is an important part of boat ownership. It can help you extend the life of your boat, prevent costly repairs, and ensure a safe and enjoyable boating experience. Boat maintenance involves keeping your boat clean, lubricated, and well-functioning. Here are some basic boat maintenance tasks that you should perform regularly:
- Check your batteries and battery cables before every outing.
- Use a battery maintenance charger for extended periods of non-use. Replace your battery every four to five seasons. Always use a marine battery, never an automotive battery.
- Use fuel with no ethanol or E10 only. Use a marine-specific fuel stabilizer to prevent oxidation and phase separation. Never use E15 or E85 fuel in a boat.
- Check your engine oil before every outing. Change the oil and filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Remove the propeller and check your prop shaft a few times a season. Look for fishing line, weeds, or other debris that could damage the seal or bearings1.
- Wash and wax your boat regularly. Use a boat cleaner designed specifically for cleaning boats. These will be less harsh on both the boats and the environment. Use a soft sponge and gentle circular strokes to clean the hull. Rinse with fresh water and dry with a clean towel23.
- Wipe off your boat after every outing. Remove any dirt, salt, or moisture that could cause corrosion or mold3.
- Check metal parts for corrosion and apply anti-corrosion spray if needed.
These are some of the easy ways to maintain your boat and keep it in good condition.
