Get your boat ready
Fishing season is here. Are you ready? The first thing you need to do is make sure your boat is clean and ready to go. Cleaning a boat can be difficult. There are many hard to reach places, and you will need to use a lot of elbow grease to properly clean it. Using a pressure washer can make a hard job easy. Here are a couple of tips:
- Remove any loose equipment and cushions-the power of a pressure washer could ruin these.
- Be careful of any decals-a pressure washer could remove these
- Use a detergent specifically for boats
- Apply soap from the bottom up to prevent streaking/let stand 5-10 minutes. Do not let dry.
- Scrub any areas that have heavy accumulations of algae or other material
- Rinse from the top down, do not get to close to the surface to prevent damage.
- Let dry for a couple of days then apply boat wax
