SERVICE QUESTIONS
-
Our routine maintenance is always recommended annually or every 100 hours, whichever should come first.
-
Our maintenance is based on how many hours are on the engine and/or how old the motor is. Each manufacturer recommends certain items be checked/replaced at different intervals. Our service department follows each recommendation and our records are well kept to ensure the engine/boat receives the proper service.
-
If your boat will be sitting for three months or more without use, I would recommend the engine get “summarized”. This service package prevents engine failure during long-term storage.
-
The boat should be cleaned after each use to avoid the salt deposits from ruining the vessel. A salt away solution and water softener is what our detail department uses to avoid this.
-
Due to the harsh Florida environment, we recommend the boat be waxed at least once every three months. This will protect and prolong the life of your gel coat and keep the boat looking in tip top shape.
-
We recommend flushing your engines with a salt away solution every time the boat is removed from the water. Salty Sam’s offers a salt away flush to all dry storage customers.
-
We use moisture control bags that prevents mildew from starting. We offer a monthly mildew and odor protection package for all storage customers.
-
First off, if the boat is kept in the water all the time, the bottom hull should be painted with an anti-fouling paint to prevent growth of barnacles. During the summer months we recommend the bottom be cleaned every 3-4 weeks. As the water cools down it can be done every 5-6 weeks.
