Maintaining your boat regularly is important for many reasons. Neglecting boat cleaning and detailing could lead to safety issues, unnecessary wear and tear, and pricey repairs. At Fish Tale Boats we want you to enjoy your boat and get the most out of it. Here’s how:
Protection From Corrosion
Boat corrosion can show up in many ways; wood, rot, and rust are just a few. You may be wondering what causes corrosion and how can boat cleaning and detailing protect your boat. Three major players factor into corrosion: oxygen, temperature, and the type of water your boat is exposed to. Oxidation is the process in which all three of these factors come together to create the perfect storm of corrosion, taking away from the aesthetic quality of your boat. Corrosion can occur if your boat is in saltwater or freshwater, but saltwater can accelerate the rusting process whereas prolonged exposure to water in general can contribute to rusting too.
So, how can boat cleaning and detailing protect your boat from corrosion? Simply remove your boat from the water at the end of a long day of fishing or leisure and rinse the hull with soap and freshwater to remove the elements. The regular practice of cleaning your boat after every use can protect it from being damaged by the elements and help to maintain that aesthetic value.
In addition, flushing the boat engine after every trip on the water can be key to preventing corrosion as salt deposits break down the metal and block water flow. Regular engine flushing can also reduce the chance of cooling system malfunction, allowing the boat engine to maintain a regular temperature. There are so many reasons to flush your boat engine, so grab a hose and an external coupler and let it run for up to 15 minutes!
