4 Ways to Expand the Life of Your Boat

Boats are a considerable investment, but they reap the rewards of long-lasting fun for the entire family! Once you take the plunge and dive into buying a boat, your next steps should be learning how you can protect it. Here are four ways to expand the life of your boat.

Wash Your Boat

You had a fantastic time out on the water, but now it’s time to wash up. Washing your boat is important because it cleans algae, dirt, salt, and residue buildup. Over time if left unkempt, this buildup can become very tough to clean and eat away at the gel protective coating.

Flush Your Outboard Engine

Salt can build up in the motor and cause corrosive damage. After your saltwater expedition is over, take fresh water and thoroughly flush the engine. With proper flushing, your engine will keep on revving, allowing you to breeze over the Florida ocean with peace of mind! 

Cruise 

We know every once in a while, you love the adrenaline rush of watching the speedometer rise. Feeling the rush is exhilarating, but is it that great for your boat? Your boat is typically less stressed when at cruising speeds. The average cruising speed is between 15-30 MPH. So have fun out on the water, but remember to cruise when possible!
