Here are some tips not to overlook when de-winterizing your boat. While you are dusting off your boat check your owner's manual for recommendations to get your boat safely out on the water. Below are a few tips not to forget.

Life Jackets 

After making sure all of your major systems are working be sure to check all life jackets. All the life jackets need to be in good condition. Make sure you have enough for all passengers and that they are the correct sizes.

Fire Extinguishers 

Hopefully, you will never need to use your fire extinguisher. But if you do, you want to make sure it is charged and in the proper place. Also, double check to make sure your fire extinguishers are the right size and type for your boat.

Trailer 

If you use a trailer for your boat, check the rollers and bearings. You want to notice if the rollers and bearings are moving properly. You do not want them acting finicky and ruining your day out on the water. Take the time to try out the lights before taking the boat out. You will also want to check the tie downs and winches to make sure they are working correctly. Summertime is also a great time to change the oil on your vehicle and boat.
