Do you need to flush your marine engine? You will want to use what are called rabbit ears to cover the air intake portions of the engine. This will keep debris from coming into the engine while you are flushing it.
The oldest boat recovered by archaeologists is approximately 10,000 years old. During the construction of a Dutch highway near the town of Pesse, the dugout canoe was discovered. It is now in a museum in the Netherlands.
When it comes to winterizing your boat, your engine and systems are most important. Start by topping off your tanks and stabilizing your fuel. Change your engine oil, and replace all the filters. Also, check the coolant in closed cooling systems for the proper degree of protection.
Part of professional boat detailing involves the application of a fresh coat of polymer wax. It’s actually recommended that the gel coat of your boat be waxed at minimum once a year and preferably three times during the season.
It cannot be overstated how important your boat's battery is to repeated and predictable starting. In fact, your battery does not need to be dead to give you trouble. Even a low battery can cause hesitation or not have enough power to start.
If you travel in salt water, make sure to rinse down your boat every time you take her out of the water. While this is a good practice in the short-run, you should also have the vessel detailed to eliminate salt build up in hard to reach or overlooked areas.
Did you know that one-part paint is generally considered to be the easiest-to-apply finish to fiberglass boat repairs? New chemical advances have made these products more durable and an effective source of protection than in the past.
In 1915, well-known boat builder Scott Matthews was forced to diversify beyond boat building. Unable to find electric parts suited to marine applications, he began to design and build his own automatic lighting and power plant, electric pump, power capstan and hoists.
Kapok, the material once used to stuff boat cushions and life preservers, comes from the seed pods of the kapok tree, native to the South Pacific. Kapok is sometimes referred to as “vegetal cashmere,” because it’s light, soft, and feels like down.
