Yearly Maintenance Thread

I know there are a lot of seasoned veterans out there. What are some of the maintenance suggestions that you can give for new boat owners? What should everyone look out for when owning a boat?

Obviously....Take you boat to a reputable shop to be winterized!!!

Check your wheel bearings...
Make sure they are packed with grease or full of oil @ every fuel stop... On boatmate trailers look & see if you have RELIABLE clear plastic oil bath caps if you do call & get the new ones they are upgrading to aluminum caps(It should be a recall).. I just ordered 4 we think thats why i just smoked a brand new set of bearings & hub...

Always flip your seats after a day on the lake to air out. Will save you from staining your seats.

Then use Exquisite to clean. Stuff is awesome.
