BASIC BOAT CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DAILY
• If you don’t use protective anti-fouling paint (to repel barnacles in salt water), make sure that
you remove your boat from the water every few days. This will prevent build up of algae and
barnacles. Scrub and wash the boat while it is wet and before putting it back in the water.
• If you use your boat in salt water, give it a freshwater rinse after each day of fishing.
Use plenty of soap and water and rinse thoroughly.
• If using an electric motor, charge the battery immediately upon returning from your fishing trip.
If you use a battery to start your main engine, check the battery frequently and charge as required.
