Techniques To Keep Your Boat Running Well And Looking Good:

AFTER EVERY TRIP:
  • Flush the engine each time it’s used in salt water. Use “earmuffs” over the water intake and a freshwater hose. Tilt engine and rinse underneath to prevent salt buildup.
  • Fill gas tank on the way back. A full tank resists water build-up from condensation.
  • Wash entire boat and trailer using soap and water. Frenzy! Wash and Wax  soap contains wax and will not strip the wax from your boat. Do not use bleach except in emergencies. Re-wax the affected area after using these harsh products.
  • Scrub the deck with a non-skid cleaner (Frenzy! Orange Concentrate  works well.)
  • Dry all the metal, glass and flat surfaces. Standing water will leave mineral deposits and etch surfaces. (You can use Frenzy! Shark Tower to clean and protect your metal surfaces. Shark Tower also removes rust and corrosion.)
  • Cover boat to protect it from sun and rain.
GENERAL CARE:
  • Wax the boat every few months to protect the finish from stains and UV damage. A good coating of wax makes regular clean-up much easier. Frenzy! Waxing Frenzy!  Boat wax with carnauba wax, Maguire’s Flagship Wax, and Collinite Fleet Wax are generally regarded as the best boat waxes. Use Woody Wax on rails and (an extremely light coating) on molded non-skid.
  • Use Waxing Frenzy!  on glass.
  • Use Waxing Frenzy!, Dillon Boat Shield, or 303 Protectant on plastic hatches.
  • Use Corrosion-X or Boeshield T-9 on all switches, wiring terminals and the engine.
  • Frenzy! Orange Concentrate is an excellent general purpose cleaner for seats, cockpit, cabin, etc.
  • Treat your vinyl with Frenzy! Vinyl Protectant.
  • Every 75 hours: replace spark plugs, clean fuel filter, change lower unit oil, grease engine/drive via the zerc fittings and inspect everything.
  • Every 150 hours or once a year replace the impeller and fuel-water separator.
