Preventive maintenance (Annual Service) for your boat will help keep your boat running its best longer. An example of an annual service for a 20’ boat with a Mercruiser with an alpha is: Check all fluids, top off as needed. • Run out boat and check overall running and shifting condition • Change oil, oil filter and fuel filter • Check out all safety systems, (blower, bilge pump, horn lights etc) • Pull drive, drain gear lube, psi test drive, and fill with new gear lube • Check out all bellows, water hoses and trim senders • Check anodes • Load test batteries • Check out trailer condition, lights, tires, bunks and grease buddy bearings • We will go over the boat and will give you any recommendations needed. If need be we can help with a priority list of what needs to be done to your boat.

BOTTOM PAINTING
Bottom paint prevents the growth of organisms that can attach to your boats hull and can affect a vessels speed, performance, and durability when boats are kept in the water for extended periods of time. Boats left in freshwater can grow a healthy beard of plant algae slime, which will create blisters and electrolysis. Having your boat bottom painted every 2-4 years will help the condition of your hull. Request a quote today to ensure your bottom is in good shape!
