Preparing for the season: 5 things you might have missed

Refresh your boat and avoid delays with five top tips:

  1. Check the seacocks are open and look for water flow before attempting to start your engine(s)
  2. Inspect battery terminals. A quick clean and grease over the tops will protect and seal them. Check your charger is working and batteries are healthy.
  3. Put sanitiser through on board domestic water if you have drained the system. Expel all the air when recommissioning - this will stop your pressure pump pulsing.
  4. Wash down your boat’s exterior and look for signs of rust. Treat and convert rust with a self-priming product like Vactan - our top seller.
  5. Check bilges are clean and free of water or debris following possible winter leaks. Eliminate splits or kinks in discharge hose/pipe and test bilge pump operates.
