Protecting Your Outboard From Corrosion

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...

  Don't Let Seasickness Ruin Your Trip Raritan Engineering Company your   marine toilet systems  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding five great ways to cure seasickness quickly. Hands up if you’ve experienced at least one bout of  mal de mer  in your lifetime. And don’t be embarrassed. Many people are prone to motion sickness; it’s waaaaay more common than you think. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 100% of us have—or will—succumb to seasickness on rough waters. What is seasickness and what causes it? Think of it as a battle of the senses. Your marine toilet systems experts talk about how seasickness occurs when one part of your balance-sensing system (your inner ear, eyes and sensory nerves) senses that your body is moving, but the other parts do not.  It's not easy (or fun) being green! Symptoms of seasickness run the gamut from dry mouth, cold...

Strengthening Your Marine Fabrics when it comes to Hot and Cold Weather

Image
We had an unusually moist Miami Watercraft Show a few weeks ago, that provided us an opportunity to take a look at a little something we haven't paid much attention to in a couple of years: water-proofing coatings for fabrics. Textile technology has discovered some significant new developments since our last complete examination of waterproof coatings. Chemical substance engineers have indeed found brand new ways to impregnate fibers with coatings that can last through dozens of wash cycles. Despite all the advancements in material technology, we've yet to discover a waterproof, breathable component that doesn't call for some upkeep with time-- and ultimately breaks down. In Miami, during on-the-water testing of foul-weather gear we initially reported on in 2008, we could clearly see how sunlight, washing, and regular use took their toll on water-repellency in even our favorite foul-weather gear. hile, the water beaded like pearls on some of the lower-rated jackets th...
