Pro tip: Cleaning, waxing and polishing can help maintain and protect it. ➕ Check the engine, propeller and other mechanical components. ➕ Change oil, filters and fluids accordingly, and test the battery. ➕ Ensure safety equipment like life jackets, fire extinguishers and flares are in working order. ➕ Clean the interior, including any surface or storage areas. ➕ Clear out the bilge pump of any debris. ➕ Make sure electrical equipment like the depth finder, GPS, fish finder and radio are working.

Today’s Marine Maintenance Mission: Tackling the Sea Ray 370! Faced with a challenging red tide that turned the sea orange-brown and took away our visibility, our dedicated team performed a meticulous clean-up of the waterline by feel alone. After two strenuous hours, we removed substantial mussel and barnacle growth, with some clusters exceeding three feet! This operation highlighted significant mossy growths and sea flotsam adhering to the gelcoat, underscoring the impact of a submerged waterline under real-world conditions. 🚨 Important Tip: If your boat is heavily laden with gear and essentials, it might be wise to consider adjusting the waterline to avoid similar issues. Keep your vessel seaworthy and maintain a pristine hull! #MarineMaintenance #SeaRay370 #BoatCare #Yachting #ProfessionalCleaning #WaterlineManagement #MaritimeSafety #LinkedInVideo

Did You Know that the teak of your yacht could be a risk from exposure to salt, UV radiation or moisture?

Most people who do not own boats are unaware that highly toxic marine flares must be on all ships and expire every three years. Flares burn at extremely high temperatures and can set boats on fire if dropped. Reusable electronic signals are the safer, more economical, and less toxic alternative. My team and I have been working to bring awareness to this issue for many years because of our concern that there was no way for boaters to easily, safely, or affordably dispose of these flares every three years, so many threw them in the ocean or lake the boat is in. Flares often contain perchlorate, a toxic chemical that pollutes water. If we sell products to the public, they must have a proper end-of-life plan, and we will soon address this in California.
