Pontoon Boat Service & Repairs

If you’re after a boat that is great for families, easy to operate, and low maintenance, a pontoon boat is the perfect choice. However, you do still need to keep your pontoon boat working properly by completing various upkeep tasks. These tips will help you to stay on top of your pontoon’s maintenance needs so that you can enjoy using it for as long as possible.

Inspect Regularly

A thorough inspection of your pontoon boat before each use can help you spot minor maintenance issues before they become a big deal. Check over the engine, the electronics, the fuel and steering systems, and the outer hull of the boat to make sure everything is in good condition.

Clean Often

Whether you use your pontoon boat in freshwater or saltwater, you should always give it a thorough rinse when you return home. This will help to prevent build-up from damaging the hull. You’ll also want to clean the interior of the boat so that mold, mildew, and corrosion don’t cause you any trouble. You can always refer to your owner’s manual to ensure that you’re using the right products with your boat.

Store Securely

When winter hits and it’s time to put your pontoon boat into storage, it’s important to take the time to winterize it properly first. You’ll want to stabilize the fuel system, change the oil, remove personal items, and place the battery on a tender charger. Invest in a snug-fitting, water-resistant but breathable cover for your boat to protect it from pests and debris, and store your pontoon boat in a locked garage, shed, or storage facility.
