The golden hues of fall will be here before we know it and boating season will wind down. Before you tuck your boat away, remember it’s the perfect time to evaluate and refresh your boating gear. At Boat Town, we’re here to help you get your equipment in top shape, so you’re ready for next season’s adventures.
Why Review Your Gear Now?
Fall is an excellent time to check on your boating equipment because it gives you a head start on any replacements or upgrades you might need. By taking inventory now, you’ll avoid any last-minute scrambles or potential surprises when you hit the water next. Plus, with the summer rush over, you'll have more time to choose the best gear for your needs.
Key Equipment to Check
Here are some essential items you should review and consider updating:
Life Jackets: Ensure that all life jackets are in good condition. Check for any signs of wear and tear, such as fraying straps or damaged buckles. Remember, life jackets should fit properly and be easily accessible. If you find any that need replacing, make sure to choose ones that are comfortable and meet safety standards.
Safety Equipment: Besides life jackets, inspect other safety gear like flares, fire extinguishers, and first-aid kits. Replace any expired items and replenish any missing components to keep your safety kit complete.
Boards and Water Sports Gear: If you enjoy water sports, now’s the time to check your wakeboards, kneeboards, skis, tubes and any other equipment . Look for any cracks, dents, or damage that might affect performance. Consider upgrading to newer models if your current gear is showing signs of age or if you’re looking for improved performance.
Maintenance Supplies: Take stock of your cleaning and maintenance supplies, such as boat wax, cleaners, and lubricants. Ensure you have enough to keep everything in top shape for next season.
