Each year about three out of four recreational boat owners say they plan to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday aboard the family boat.  1. Before you head out,  give a short orientation  to guests, not only about essential items, such as how to move about a moving vessel (with one hand always connected to the boat) or how use the head, but also show them how easy it is to use the VHF radio and safety gear, especially life jackets. 2. For that unexpected young guest without a life jacket, the non-profit BoatUS Foundation’s free Kids Life Jacket Loaner program gives boaters a chance to  borrow child-size life jackets  for the day, afternoon, or weekend.  3.  Don’t overload t

Time to Get a New Fishing Rod?

Image
Awesome Points to Keep In Mind When Buying Your Next Rod Raritan Engineering Company your   marine water heaters  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding whether or not it is time to get a new fishing rod. Having the proper equipment is as important in fishing as it is in any sport. With a wide range of bait options and techniques, rod manufacturers have developed rods to cast specific baits farther and more accurately. They’ve also balanced these capabilities with other factors to give the angler an advantage over a hooked bass. A truly effective fisherman or woman can now pick the perfect tool. The correct rod for a given situation allows anglers to cast baits accurately, work baits properly, detect more strikes, and set the hook to land a fish.

Protecting Your Outboard From Corrosion

Image
Easy to Follow Steps to Keep Your Outboard Running Smoothly Raritan Engineering Company your   marine hose  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding protecting your outboard from corrosion. Your outboard continuously draws water in, circulates it around high-heat components to cool them, and then discharges the water. We recommend flushing after use in salty, muddy or contaminated water because deposits can cling to inside passages and break down those surfaces at a molecular level. Plus, flushing helps to prevent clogs that could impede the flow of coolant water. The flushing port on Mercury outboards makes this easy. With the engine off, trim it to the vertical position, attach a freshwater hose, open the spigot halfway and flush for 15 minutes.  I flush my outboard with Star Brite Salt Off after a day on the water. It’s cheap insurance. I do this right away, while the engine’s still hot. Your marine hose expert

Great Tips on How to Start Catching the Big Ones Raritan Engineering Company your  electric toilets  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding catching trophy red snapper like a pro. Catching red snapper is easy. In fact, some grouper fishermen will tell you that it’s too easy because the aggressive snapper will get to their baits before a grouper can even think about eating them. Catching trophy red snapper is another story. Yes, anglers can and sometimes do luck into a 20-plus-pounder or even a 30-pounder, but to consistently catch the big girls, success typically depends on three factors: Fishing the right spot with the right tackle and optimal bait, says Capt. Judy Helmey of Savannah, Georgia. Top Spots for Sows When Helmey guides anglers for big red snapper, she typically fishes what are known as the snapper banks, located 28 to 35 miles offshore.
