**How ​​to get your boat ready for summer**

Boats are exposed to harsh marine conditions year-round, so regular maintenance is essential. Use this checklist to ensure your boat is safe, reliable, and ready for a smooth summer season on the water.

Anodes
Check sacrificial anodes and replace them if they are heavily worn to protect important metal components from corrosion.

Propeller, shaft, bearings & seals:
Check for visible damage or wear. Ensure the propeller moves freely and smoothly without excessive play.

Check thru-hull fittings
, underwater lights, hoses, clamps, and valves for corrosion or leaks. Ensure wiring is secure and connections are in good condition.

Ladders & Swim Platforms:
Check for signs of wear, rust, or loose fittings. Ensure all parts are securely and firmly installed.

Hull Condition:
Inspect the entire hull for cracks, blistering, or damage. Perform a bottom tap test to detect hidden weak spots.

Decals & Registration:
Ensure the boat’s name and registration decals are legible and securely attached. Replace any faded or peeling decals.

Fluid levels:
Check the engine oil and coolant levels. Top up or change fluids as needed.

Spark plugs:
Remove and inspect spark plugs. Clean or replace worn, dirty, or damaged spark plugs.

Air filter
Check the air filter (if equipped) for dirt and debris. Clean or replace if necessary.

Battery & Electrical:
Check battery voltage and connections, wiring, and connections. Check for corrosion or frayed wires.

Monitoring Systems & Alarms
Check all indicators, displays, and alarms for proper operation.

Engine Maintenance Schedule
Review maintenance records and schedule the next engine maintenance appointment.
