STRAIGHTFORWARD ACTION
PERFORM FOR MAINTAIN
YOUR BOAT
Conor McLaughlin
Boat maintenance, as a whole, is actually quite similar
to automobile maintenance. There are a few very
basic items that require constant maintenance which
the owner normally takes care of, and a few items that
require maintenance at regular intervals which some
owners deal with but most people leave to the
professionals. Any basic boat maintenance checklist
would include the following items
Maintenance
Mechanical Repairs
Parts Department
Winter Storage
Valet Rack Service
A list of maintenance items you’ll need
to address during your first year
Engines:
In cold climates, winterize engines every fall to protect cooling systems
where water might be trapped and freeze. At the same time, treat engine
inner workings with fogging oil to prevent corrosion. Except for a few
outboards, engines require an oil change, along with new oil and fuel
filters, every year. Annual service also includes a comprehensive,
though fairly simple, list of places to lubricate and inspect. Engine-
cooling pump impellers last for two or three years, but change them
more frequently if you often operate or dock in shallow, silty water, which
abrades rubber impellers.
Underwater paint and hardware:
Change sterndrive or outboard gear-case oil every fall, or at least check
for water intrusion while winterizing the engine. Send propellers with more
than a couple of minor nicks to the prop shop to be reconditioned. The
paint on your boat’s bottom prevents marine growth, such as barnacles
and sea grass, but its effectiveness varies by paint type, climate, region
and even local water bodies. Ask around, but expect to repaint the boat’s
bottom every one to three years. Unpainted metal anodes attached to
sterndrives or inboard prop shafts and rudders are there to prevent
corrosion. Replace them when they’re 50 percent deteriorated.
Batteries and electrical systems:
Maintenance-free batteries should last for three years or more. Never
ignore a hard-to-start engine, though, as even brand-new batteries
occasionally fail. Fully charge batteries after each trip and before winter or
prolonged storage, and have batteries load-tested every spring—a simple
procedure done aboard the boat. Immediately address any signs of water
dripping onto electrical panels or junctions, and don’t store gear where it
might damage wiring.
Fiberglass:
Rinse your boat thoroughly after each outing, and wash it once a week with
mild boat soap—one that won’t remove wax. Southern latitudes and
saltwater boating require wax as often as every two months from the main
deck up. Northern and freshwater boaters might wax only once a season.
You’ll know it’s time when grime becomes harder to wash off the boat.
Between wax jobs, use a cleaner wax—which scours the dirt but also leaves
behind a protective wax coating—to quickly touch up trouble spots.
Canvas and upholstery:
Polyester or acrylic fabric covers and sunshades need just a good
freshwater rinse, plus an occasional light scrub with Woolite or natural-soap
flakes. Once or twice a season, rejuvenate stain and water repellency with
fabric sealer. Use only manufacturer-approved cleaners on windowlike
clear panels. Wash cushions with mild boat soap to remove sunscreen,
food crumbs and dirt, and deep-clean and protect the fabric as needed with
vinyl cleaner and protectant. Store cushions on their edge when you’re not
using the boat so they dry inside and out.
Wash your boat regularly.
And if you boat in saltwater, rinse your boat thoroughly with fresh water after
every outing to remove salt residue.
Scrutinize the propeller for other
damage
While you have the propeller off, inspect it for nicks, dents and other signs
of damage. It’s okay if your prop has chipped or damaged paint, but send
it out for repairs if you find signs of impact. The smallest dent can cause
your boat to lose 10% of performance and will burn more fuel than normal.
Put a liberal amount of waterproof
grease on the propeller shaft
Re-install the propeller and hardware in the same order that you took them
off, and tighten the propeller nut to the manufacturers specifications. Do
NOT forget to put a new cotter pin in if you have an outboard.
Thanks…..
