WEEKLY/MONTHLY BOAT CARE

REGULARLY (WEEKLY/MONTHLY)
• When cleaning your boat, check for any loose fittings, cracks, loose rivets or other parts that need
care, special attention or replacement. Fix these immediately, or get the boat to a qualified marina
for a detailed check up.
• If you don’t like to spend time washing your boat, remove all fishing tackle, seat cushions,
electronics and other accessories, then run the boat through a high-pressure car wash or one of the
do-it-yourself washing bays. Because of the fittings on boat trailers and some boats, avoid using
brush-style car washes.
• Use special metal cleaners and scrubbers to maintain easily-corroded chrome, aluminum or
stainless steel fittings. This is especially important around salt water.
• When washing your boat, consider using bio-degradable detergents and soaps which are less
harmful to the environment.
