How to improve your boat in 7 easy steps

The first step on how to maintain your boat and improve its efficiency is to always keep up with its maintenance. Whether you use TheBoatApp to remind you or just a plain paper notebook, make sure to check your boat periodically. The best time to do so is in the winter months when, probably like most of us, you are not taking your boat out on the water. One of the main maintenance tips is to clean your hull and make sure there are no seaweed layers on it that can deteriorate it in the long run.

The second step to improving your boat is accessorising. One thing you need for when you dock on a beach that has no specific docking area is a keel band. This item protects the hull and the laminates  if it goes up to the stem.

The third step is to check and label all your wiring so you know what goes where and you have yourself a safer boat.

Fourth step, upgrade your propeller. Propellers are integral parts of boats. Finding the right one for your boat size can be tricky. You can opt for an aluminium one or a steel one. Aluminium propellers are lightweight and easy to maneuver while steel propellers are probably more expensive but give your boat more speed. Either way, before making a purchase, make sure to do your research first to find the one with the parameters that best fit your boat.

Step number five, upgrade your interior. If your boat’s interior is out of date you can opt to change the entire fabric of the pieces inside as well as the curtains. Make sure to find something new and modern at a local shop to completely change the atmosphere inside your boat.

Six, change your enclose to glass panels to give your bridge a whole new look and enjoy the freedom it comes with.

The last interesting step to take in order to have a new and improved boat is to change your deck seats into comfortable, water resistant leather chairs that can look and feel new. Try these tips and see the difference it makes to your vessel as well as your overall experience as the owner and the most excited user of the boat!
