When checking yacht maintenance, many details are difficult to remember. Here is a little trick for everyone: List all the items that need to be maintained. During maintenance, follow the checklist to maintain the yacht, it is easy to maintain the machine and will not miss the maintenance items.


1. Regardless of whether it is an inboard engine or an outboard engine, the following methods are effective for engine maintenance. Always flush the engine every time you go out and check if anything is stuck in the rusty, damaged, or corroded fuel pipe in the fuel tank. Check the oil level, and finally check whether the cooling meter of the engine is working properly.


2. Buying a boat cover can help you keep it clean, and all kinds of water and dust will not damage your yacht parts. At the same time, the boat cover can also solve the problems of hose breakage, carpet fading, and discoloration of decorative cloth.


3. A special marine cleaning fluid can be used to clean the hull, but please pay attention to the product manual when using it, because some cleaning fluids may affect the coating of the bottom of the ship and prevent marine organisms from attaching.


4. The engine must be tested and replaced regularly for water and oil. If you change it irregularly, you will find that after turning on the engine, many of them are thick and greasy like oil cypress. Greasy is caused by frequent oil changes that lead to deterioration and oxidation of oil, or the quality of oil is not good enough.


5. Wax the yacht furniture. Wax polish can protect furniture paint film from humidity, scratches and burns. Appropriate use of wax polish can make yacht furniture brighter. Before using wax polish, check whether the surface of the paint film is intact. For newer wooden furniture, first wipe off the surface dust with a soft cotton cloth. Use a small piece of cotton cloth to coat an appropriate amount of wax, and then use a larger dry cloth to wipe the wax evenly without leaving wax traces as the standard.


In addition, it should be noted that when cleaning the yacht, try not to pollute the waters. The cleanness of your own boat is also based on not destroying the cleanness of the sea.
