Maintenance
It's
my belief that boating should be a fun experience! Most of the time
you hear about boaters that hate their boats because they always
break at the wrong times! I've had my fair share of this in the past
on my first few boats! I go overboard on this with all my
stuff. I don't get to use it very much so when I do use it, It
better work! Here's the details by item of what I do for
maintenance. Most of this is done as needed or at least once a year.
Boat
- When it's
in the slip, it's cleaned every week. Inside and out. Once
a month they do the bilge
- It's
always up on the lift so you don't have to worry about the
bottom
- Motors /
Drives have synthetic oil in them. I change it once a year
- Motors
don't use a drop. Drives are suppose to and do
- Each
Spring, Baker Engineering goes through the motors and
replaces what's needed. They are brand new. Nothing to
replace yet!
- Completely
winterized every year
- Kept in
heated storage every year
- Drives
painted as needed
- Props
polished and cupped every year
|
Truck
- Having
only 28K or so miles on it, it has not needed much
- Everything
has been done as required by the schedule in the manual
- I have
all the records
|
Trailer
- Brakes
replace or adjusted every year
- Oil
checked on bearing before every trip
- Tire
pressure check before every trip
- Lights
all work
- Blasted
then primed and paint 2 years ago
- Touched
up every year by SD Enterprises
|
Lift
- Just
clean it once a year with High Pressure washer. That's it.
|
That's it. Simple. Just make sure you do it every year!
