Maintaining Your Aluminum Fishing Boat

Staying on top of maintenance is how you’ll keep your aluminum fishing boat working well for years and years. A good upkeep routine will help you to prevent corrosion and damage to your boat. Here are a few tips on how to maintain your aluminum fishing boat for best results.

Check For Damage

After every trip, or before you head out on a boating adventure, take the time to walk around your boat and inspect it. Make sure that you have no glaring signs of damage to the hull. Check the fluids and top them off as needed. Refill your engine with fresh fuel. If you find any damage, you need to avoid using your boat until you’ve addressed it.

Keep It Clean & Corrosion-Free

Regular rinsing and scrubbing of your aluminum fishing boat will help prevent build-up that can cause corrosion. Also, avoid covering or storing your boat before it’s dried off. Use a marine-grade aluminum polish on your boat’s hull to give it a protective coating that reduces the risk of corrosion, oxidation, or saltwater damage.

Get Professional Guidance

Finally, one of the best ways to make sure you’re taking good care of your aluminum fishing boat is to take it into a local service department to have it inspected by professional boat mechanics.
