Striking Submerged Objects

A boat's motor and machinery can be damaged by submerged objects on thelake or offshore. Once a submerged object has been struck, examine the runninggear to assure that all of the damages have been repaired.

Battery

It is important to monitor the battery's fluid level. Maintaining the properelectrolyte level in the battery can save your boat.

Boat Lifts

A boat lift is a convenient way to store and use your boat. It is recommendedthat the boat be removed from its lift and stored out of harm’s way duringsignificant weather events like heavy squall or windstorm.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TIPS









ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TIPS

Not Just Rust!!

Rust stains often indicate a greater issue with your boat. This is a minor problemthat can threaten to sink your boat and jeopardize passenger safety if it isneglected.

Propeller „s proper Maintenance

It is advisable to clean the propeller, the propeller shaft and the strut periodically.A small film of marine growth on the propeller and shaft can slow-down theperformance of a boat and keep the engine from functioning properly.

Boat Trailers

It is important to regularly inspect and service the boat trailer. It is difficult tolaunch and retrieve the boat with worn trailer parts and also risk damaging the hullin transport.









MAINTENANCE OF BOAT MOTOR

Water Pump Impellers

A small piece of rubber broken off of an impeller can cause majoroverheating problems.

Replace Engine Hoses

All engine hoses should be checked periodically. Replace the crackedhoses.

Stuffing Box Needs A Check!!

Check your boat's propeller shaft stuffing box for leakage. Improperadjustment or wear and tear can cause the standard adjustable stuffing boxto leak.









Nose Can Save You!!

There should be no fuel smell. Smell indicates that there is a leak on the

engine. Leakage can occur around fuel tank fittings fuel lines, fuel filters and

carburetors.

Exhaust Risers and Manifolds

Inspect your inboard engine's exhaust risers and manifolds for leakage.

Leaking exhaust risers can allow water to seep into the engine.

Tune Your Prop Shaft

Regularly examine your propeller shaft. A stiff shaft could indicate problems

with the engine's alignment, strut, engine mounts or a bent shaft.
