As the days get hotter and the sun stays out longer, if you have a boat then you know it is time to start getting it ready for summer use. Making sure you have everything in order will help you to enjoy more of your boat this summer and worry less about the little things. Use our tips to get everything done before it is time to take the boat out.
- De-winterize your boat. You were smart in winterizing your boat before the cold weather hit but now you need to prep it for the warm weather and that includes de-winterizing your boat.
- Get a tune up. A tune up can do wonders for your boat, especially if you haven’t had it looked at in some time. The best way to keep your boat running well is to get a tune up every year before the summer season.
- Check your battery. Not only is this something you should do before the summer but if you leave your boat sitting unused for a few weeks, you should check the strength of the battery before you take it out on the water. If it is low or shows no power, then you may want to replace it.
- Check your fluids and replace filters. Make sure your fuel filters are changed regularly do your engine runs well. You should also check all of your fluids to ensure you have everything set up for the summer. You can check both of these things throughout the summer as well.
