trip to increase there life Here are 9 best tips to follow in maintaining the boat after your trip:
1. Rinse out the engine after every trip. 2. Using clamped rubber seals attach a hose (the one you use in garden) by
slipping the apparatus to the part where water flows and get picked up. 3. As the motor is not in gear, do an engine startup and allow the water pump to
facilitate flow of water. 4. Check if the water near the motor is warm by dipping your finger to that
part. If it’s hot, there must be some waste get in the way of the outflow tube. This has to be directly addressed by turning the engine power off; otherwise it would lead to overheating and the motor can be damaged. 5. The fuel left in the carburetor has to disperse. This will happen when you
disconnect the gas line after washing the engine out. 6. Switch off the battery after being able to clean up the engine with fuel. 7. It is advisable to always check the engine cowling for possible leaks. In the
event that there is do not address it on your own rather refer to a secure boating
mechanic. 8. Apply anti-corrosive such as Quick-lube to the engine. For the moving parts
like the carburetor valves and throttle cables, it is important to lubricate them. 9. Do not recycle fuel! It is better to use fresh rather than cause the engine
to depreciate.
