Crate's - Spring Maintenance RecommendationsWe know how valuable your boating time is and we want to help you have a hassle-free season. Please refer to the below recommendations to ensure your boat is ready to go for Spring!
Are your Anodes in good condition?
Sacrificial Anodes are a key factor in keeping your drive looking good. They should be changed every season and remember, for fresh water we use magnesium anodes, not zinc!
When was the last time you replaced your impellers?
Many people forget that manufacturers suggest you change your impellers every season, as your engine depends on these to keep cool. This is the most common problem for engine failure and damage. Don`t let this lack of maintenance ruin your summer weekend!
Have you re-treated your canvas?
Sunbrella recommends re-treating fabric after a thorough cleaning, or at a minimum every 5 years. Re-treating will help restore water and stain repellency, and resist mildew.
When was the last time your bottom was painted?
It is recommended that you repaint your bottom yearly to maximize the paints ability to decrease marine growth, while in turn improving your fuel efficiency.
Have you had your boat polished lately?
Polishing your vessel will maintain that new finish and enable you to maximize your return if you're in the market to trade up or just protect your investment.
Want us to fuel up for you?
If you simply don't have the time or don't want the hassle, make a note on your Launch Form for us to fuel up your vessel and tie it up in your slip. Just let us know what fuel grade you require and how much, we will take care of the rest!
