Significant Maintenance Tips for Speed Boats

• When you have obtained a speed boat you naturally
  prefer to realize that it will last for a long
  time. Adequate maintenance is the key to
  preserving your boat in fine condition. Though
  the manual that came with your boat would be the
  very best place to start when it comes to
  servicing, there are a few maintenance tasks that
  are prevalent to all boats. Trying to keep up
  with these tasks will help your boat stay in good
  condition. If you neglect these tasks you may end
  up having to make costly repairs.
• There are certain things on your boat that should
  be checked each year, these things include the
  oil, lower end fluid, and drive oil as well as
  all filters. If the boat spends a lot of time in
  saltwater, change the zincs every year and have
  the boat bottom painted. This will not only keep
  the speed boat looking like new, but also clean
  the fiberglass and remove barnacles and debris.

• Winterizing the engine is essential, especially
  if it will exposed to cold and/or damp weather.
  The engine should be flushed with water. Once the
  engine is drained, drain all fuel from the
  carburetor and hoses so evaporated fuel does not
  build up. Once the engine is clean and dry,
  lubricate the cylinder walls and pistons and
  apply water resistant grease to all the other
  moving parts. You should use a high quality wax
  to polish the outside of the Power Boats for

• The fuel filter and water separator should be
  replaced each year to prevent clogs. Before
  winter sets in make sure the fuel tank is full
  and add a fuel stabilizer to prevent condensation
  build up and deposits. Bilges can be cleaned with
  hot water and a stiff brush, then dried before
  being sprayed with lubricant and antifreeze. It
  is also a good idea to thoroughly clean the boat
  both inside and out to prevent buildup during the
  winter months. When storing your boat for the
  winter it should be covered completely to protect
  it from the winter elements.
• If you are not familiar with any of these
  maintenance tasks you should consult an
  experienced mechanic. It is also important that
  you refer to your boat manual for specific
  procedures and maintenance concerning your boat.
  Taking time to care for your boat can save you
  money in costly repairs. Take care of your boat
  and you will enjoy it for many years.
