Boat Restoration Made Easy

Restoring a boat could definitely be hard work, not to mention an expensive project. Whether or not you've just recently bought an old boat that needs to have a bit of TLC, or your own boat is starting to look like it was found on the bottom of the sea, we have shared 5 boat restoration secrets here today which will not only save you money, but will also save you a great deal of time.
1. You don't need to utilize expensive rust removers anymore!
Forget searching on Amazon.com or any other place when it comes to the latest trend of rust removers. Not only could they be expensive but also extremely harsh if used improperly. Rather, begin searching in the rear of your cupboards. A toothbrush covered in a little bit of baking soda, salt or white vinegar will do just the trick and bring your stained fiberglass up to a sparkly finish.
2. Laundry washing detergent is truly your new best friend!
Believe it or not, laundry detergent not only washes your clothes while out at sea, but likewise works marvels on cleaning your hull. It can easily help dissolve the absolute most persistent oil rings and any nasty dark spots hiding around your boat, that are definitely unavoidable when being submerged in water.
3. Sanding down your woodwork is going to immediately transform your boat
Using an electric sander to remove the old varnish on your boat, ready to repaint with a top quality varnish, will work wonders for renewing your vessel's finish. Sanding the surface will also clean up any cracks, yellowing and discolorations too.
4. The white vinegar in your cupboard will certainly save you a fortune
As soon as you've cleaned up the hull, outside and interior wood, it's time to tackle the fabrics. Ignore abrasive bleach, expensive fabric cleaners and hazardous smelling carpet shampoos. All you need to have is a bottle of white vinegar.
Get a soft brush and blend some white vinegar along with some water (don't dilute it too much) and you're ready to go. The vinegar is going to kill off any mold in fabrics, remove musty odors and right after a brief soak on the carpet and a vacuum, it will definitely clean your flooring up wonderfully.
5. Think outside the box with your furniture
Furnishing on a budget? Try your local yard sales to pick up a few deals, or if you 'd prefer to invest in some quirky DIY furnishings to go with your new, sparkly boat instead, then look no further than IKEA ... yes IKEA!
Not only do they offer inexpensive, modern and simple to put together flat pack furnishings, but their items are also amazingly flexible. 
Soon after finishing our five tips mentioned above, the rest is really up to you! No matter what you decide to do when spending a little time on restoration, we hope we've provided you a fantastic start on reviving your boat and getting it up to scratch, ready for an adventure on the water.

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...
