As it is coming in to peak boating season with summer now upon us we thought we would chat with Julian from JNC Marina about how to Summer Check your boat to ensure it is in top condition for you to safely enjoy your boat this season.

 

Top Tips For Keeping Your Boat In Shape

 

1. Make sure all your annual maintenance has been performed all these areas should be addressed. Antifoul/Prop speed/Gel coat polish/Engine service/ Steering system & Electrical/Anchor winch/Bilge pumps and radio checks/Check gas cylinders and your bbq fittings – you don’t want to get caught out when out on the water.

2. Check all mooring lines and fenders. Make sure covers/dogers and biminis are secure and ready to use for your first and every trip.

3. If you are a Yacht owner you should also check Rigging/running rigging and sails.
