Now is a good time to start getting your boat ready for the warm summer that is just ahead. Believe it or not it will be here soon.
You can start by making sure your propeller is in good condition and not damaged so that it does not damage your out drive or any other part of your boat and if you do not have a second prop on your boat now is a good time to look at getting a second prop and make sure it is not the same size as the one on your boat now, if your prop is for taking you friends on an afternoon cruise then get a prop that lets you pull people on kneeboards or towables.
If you are looking for a little better economy and a better ride you should think about trim tabs as these will help your boat work a lot better.
Tune your boat, change the oil and make sure you change the oil in your out drive or outboard engine and now is also a good time to check your battery because you do not want a dead battery in the middle of your season also check all your belts and pumps.
You should have put a good coat of wax on your boat before you put it away for the winter but if you did not now is a good time to do that and make sure your vinyl is clean and has protection on it.
If you have to travel your boat to your favorite spot check your trailer tires and brakes to make sure you have a great safe summer. Now is a good time to make sure you renewed your tags for your boat as well as your trailer. Make sure you have all your marine accessories such as life vest for everyone on your boat, oar, fire extinguisher, flash light as well as toys your are going to use one the water.
