Marine Care
Not washing your boat can cause a whole multitude of cosmetic and performance issues. The question should be; Should I wash my boat after every trip? Is it worth all the trouble?
You should indeed wash your boat often. Boats are made of metal, wood, and fiberglass. The wood can warp, the fiberglass can deteriorate, and the metal can rust. The only way to protect your marine vessel against all of these is through regular cleaning, which includes waxing the boat after every 3-4 months.
Saltwater is actually quite destructive to most materials found on the surface of the boat. Here’s a look at what you should actually be doing for your boat:
Marine Waxing
You should wax your boat after every four months. The combination of corrosive salt water and the hot sun can eat the boat’s protective layer away, so be prepared to recoat it through waxing.
Freshwater Wash Down
You should completely clean your boat with fresh water as often as possible. This can quickly help reduce the chances of the stainless steel parts corroding. Cleaning with fresh water should be done after every use.
Flushing The Engine
The engine should be flushed after every use to protect it from getting clogged by the debris found in saltwater.
Washing the Windows
With a bit of vinegar and fresh water, you will have created the perfect solution to keep visibility in check when using your boat. Clean the windows after every trip.
