Cleaning your boat: Grab your deck and hull cleaner, some people just use Joy dish soap since it is environmentally friendly; joy may leave residue, however you can purchase the right cleaning supplies, right here at R&M Marine, Inc. For stains and grime on your seats use Crusader, spray and let soak then take your Magic Eraser and start in! Follow the Crusader with mold cleaner/killer if needed, then wipe everything off with plain water and let dry. Next use a vinyl protector, like Surface Guard. This feeds and keeps the elasticity to your vinyl. If you have teak make sure you brighten it then oil it for the up and coming season. Finish off your boat with a nice coating of wax for the boat and polish all the metal.
Inspect your hull: This is the time to look over the whole of your boat, paying close attention to the hull, look for scratches, gouges and blisters. These things are most important to get fixed if at or under water line. Check your bellows (rubber part where the drive connects) if they are hard replace right away. While spider cracking may occur above water line this is not that big of a deal. However if you have a Wake Tower look around it’s base, if there is spider cracking there, this could be a issue. Bring it in for reinforcements to be checked. If your boat is a outboard make sure your bolts are tight and no dry rot noticed. Check your Zinc’s make sure they are corrosion free, if not take a wire brush to them, if there is major pitting call R&M Marine, Inc. for replacements (this is most important for moored boats). If you banged your prop the prior year it is a good thing to have R&M Marine, Inc. check for prop shaft alignment. Check for frayed ropes, missing fenders, window leaks, safety equipment (NOT OUT OF DATE), lights inside and out. Also, if you have a cabin, make sure hose clamps and fitting are on and not getting corroded. Oh and you must not forget to clean up that tackle and make it smell gooooooood!
Other to do’s: Put battery on a slow trickle charge for optimal charge, make sure terminals are clean and corrosion free, do your oil change if you not in our program (we encourage our customers to do oil change/GP service at time of Winterize to save your pocket book). Make sure all your hoses are connected inside the motor or Call R&M Marine, Inc. and schedule your Drive-up Drive-out DE Winterize. It takes around 20 minutes and your done, don’t even unhook your boat. Check trailer lights, grease winch and swing tongue, look for corroded wires, inspect tires and pack bearings.
Spring is here and your boat should be ready to De-winterize. R&M Marine, Inc. has the only Drive-up drive-out De- winterization program, just give us a heads up that your coming in 24 hours in advance, then just drive in and around 20 minutes later you are on the road to having fun! This not only gets you De-winterized but, also has a trained ear to listen to your motor run up to temperature. R&M Marine, Inc. does their winterizes as per the manufacturers suggestions and so we do our GP Service with the tune up to save our customers money. If you had someone else do your winterize, you may now need to do the tune up for the the up and coming year. Your boats have been stored for a winter, before you make big plans on your boat be sure to, first make sure your bilge plug is in the boat, second make sure you run your boat prior to your big plans and third check your tires make sure they have adequate pressure for tailoring your boat. We all like our boats to look HOT, so we look HOT in them, be sure to stop by our coupons page for extra savings.

Does your boat have a OOPS he did it! NO she did it thing?
We can help!
When was the last time you did your
Water Pump? of your maintenance on the boat. This is the life blood of your engine, make sure it operates correctly. The water pump impeller is made of neoprene, this will become brittle over time, your result will be breakage. If your water pump fails to pump water, then, well your hosed! Don't let it be you, don't risk your motors, it's an expensive fix if you blow your motor, so just get your water pump done today! That way you wont waste your boating time, trying to get the motor replaced, or rebuilt... Once the water pump is done write down the year it was done then you know, and in three years you should get it done again.
Have you done your Bellows? Did you know your bellows need changed every two years with Volvo Penta drives and every 3-5 years with Mercruiser drive units? Have you done yours lately? The bellows are a water seal and is the large black rubber tubing that surrounds the u-joints and also protects the gimble bearing. You can see these from the back of the boat and is where the drive unit goes into the stern of the boat, if you see cracking on these parts, you are at extreme risk of damage, bring your boat in immediately for replacement (R&R U-joint Bellows.) R&M Marine, INC. believes in maintenance rather than repairs, there is a dramatic cost difference.
Remember Maintaining your boat makes for happy boats as well as happy boaters.
Thank You Very Much!
