❄️ As the nights draw in and temperatures drop, it's time to get your boat ready for winter 🥶 At Walker Rubber, our durable, weather-resistant rubber products are designed to help protect your boat's critical components – from sealing out the weather, to safeguarding your electrical connections, or simply preventing damage to the hull. Check out our quick boat winterisation checklist: 1️⃣ Drain and flush water systems: Ensure all water is drained from the engine and systems, and use antifreeze to prevent freezing and damage on the coldest winter days. 2️⃣ Inspect and protect the hull: Check for any damage to the hull and repair as needed. Apply protective wax to help protect against cold and wet winter conditions. 3️⃣ Secure fenders and bumpers: Inspect your rubber fenders and bumpers for wear and replace any that are damaged to ensure your boat is protected and ready to go when the season returns. 4️⃣ Check seals and gaskets: Look for cracks or wear in rubber seals and gaskets. Replacing them now helps prevent water ingress and damage ahead of next season. 5️⃣ Store equipment: Remove and clean all gear. Store items like life jackets and rubber mats in a dry place to avoid mildew over the wetter and colder winter months. If you require rubber products to help keep your boat ship shape in time for next spring, reach out to us directly for a same-day quote: sales@walker-rubber.co.uk #BoatWinterisation #Winterisation #Marine #BoatMaintenance #WalkerRubber #Rubber #UKMfg

Our customer faced a tough challenge when sourcing new engine couplings: 👉 Their vessel had already been out of the water for 12 months 👉 The original manufacturer couldn’t help 👉 They were let down by another manufacturer when the parts they ordered never arrived That’s where we stepped in – taking on the challenge that others couldn’t. In just 6 weeks from receiving the old, worn-out parts, our reverse-engineering and custom tooling capabilities delivered the finished couplings to our customer – allowing the ship to finally get back in the water. 🌊 We’re already preparing to get the next set of couplings ready for refurbishment! 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eBZqz_pU Got a challenging project?
