Spring is here, and your boat has been sitting for months. Whether it’s been shrink-wrapped, on a lift, or in dry storage, there’s a checklist every owner should run through before turning the key. Here’s exactly what the pros do and what most owners skip.
Quick Safety & Systems Check
Before you start cleaning, do a fast once-over. Check your hull, prop, oil, hoses, batteries, electronics, and safety gear. Make sure everything powers on and nothing looks worn or damaged.
Clean the Hull (Below the Waterline)
Remove algae, scum lines, and buildup using a marine-specfic cleaner, not household products that can damage gel coat. We recommend Boat Juice Water Spots which doubles as a hull cleaner to safely cut through grime without stripping protection.
