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?
Your water pump has a life span of about 3-5 years and should be done as a part

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.

Winter And boating!

Protect your boat from winter cold while stored:

 

·         Be sure to get your boat winterized seek professional package or consult owners manual.

·         Un plug your battery

·         Fuel conditioner in tank and run boat couple minutes to circulate fuel as well as tank filled but not topped off!

·         Open all compartments in boat (glove box, bow seats, cuddy seats, gap engine compartment)

·         Put Dry-Z-Air in bow and towards stern

·         Cover boat with canvas

·         If you need tent pole they are for sale or make them with a 2x4 middle, plywood square at bottom and Frisbee nailed at top.

·         Then place a tarp on top of whole boat and snug down with bungee's

 

Using your boat in the winter:

 

Be sure to dress warm, bring survival gear and extra blankets.  Also you may add a couple pieces of dry kindling in a bag, or make fire starters out of egg carton, candle wax, and dryer lint. Also make sure you have spare prop, spare water separating fuel filter and belts.

Inboard/Outboard Motors will need to be drained each time you return as well as filling up your gas tank.  Be sure to drain Block, Heat exchanger, Water pump, Manifolds and Risers.

Outboards, are self draining yet can still freeze in the Raw Water Pump.

Be sure to fill out a float plan when ever you use your boat in the winter time.  Float plan is a piece of paper, listing out who is on your boat, your boat type, and the location you are boating in.

 

Damage that May happen in the winter freeze:

Water starts to freeze at temperatures 32 degrees.  IF you have any cracks on your deck that water can seep into damage can start to happen, once water is soaked inside the crack, it then expands first then becomes denser, thus opening the crack and causing more damage. 

If you have forgotten to drain; Block, Heat exchanger, Water pump, Manifolds and Risers, damage may occur.

Lower units can freeze in the winter, though rare!  You can avoid this by angling lower unit in the fully downward position.

Your belts may become brittle during the cold, be sure to keep a spare.

Be aware that mud daubers (wasp) that may infest your outboard boat, clogging up lines. Avoid this by setting off bug bombs around the boat storage area. 

If you wake to find ice has formed on top of your Vinyl do not attempt to pull it off, it is best to let it melt and dry it up, rather then pull on vinyl made brittle by freezing temperatures.

Snow is heavy and will break down your canvas, sweep off snow each time.

Make sure you have Replacement Value insurance on your boat at all times.
