A boat is a big investment, and Iguana Boat Sales wants to make sure that your investment is protected all year long. If you have recently bought a new or used boat at the Lake of the Ozarks, you may be wondering how to properly take care of it or where you should take your boat for service. Proper maintenance of your boat is extremely important and is vital to keeping your boat running properly. Just like with a car, boats need to be serviced and maintained regularly. Fortunately, the best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks offers service and maintenance for boats. However, there are still things that you should look out for and do for your boat between your routine services:
Wash Your Boat
Regularly washing your boat with soap and cleaners made specifically for boats is important in order to protect your boat’s finish. The Lake of the Ozarks has fresh water, but if you happen to take your boat to a salt water location, make sure to clean it with fresh water after every outing to remove the salt residue. If left on, the salt will corrode metal, fasteners and other hardware. It will also ruin the gel coat.
Change Oil
Just like with a car, boats need to have their oil changed. The frequency varies by model, but typically you will want to change it every 12 months or every 100 hours – whichever comes first. Also like a car, you can change the oil yourself, or you could just bring it to Iguana! If you do not know how to change your boat’s oil or if you just don’t want to deal with the mess it creates, bring it to the best boat service center at the Lake of the Ozarks.
Check the Propeller
If you have an outboard or stern drive boat, it is a good idea to check the propeller as part of your pre-launch routine. Check to make sure that discarded fishing line hasn’t been wrapped around the propeller shaft by removing the propeller several times during the season. If you discover that it has, inspect for damage as it could cause gear case leaks. If you do find issues, bring your boat to the best Lake of the Ozarks’ boat service shop and we’ll get you back on the water in no time.

ReplyDeleteFinishing is important because it can help to add charm to the yacht and more tourist will be attracted towards it. So do regular yacht cleaning after every tour so that it will remain up to date.
