How do I prevent water damage to my boat?

Protect Your Boat Against Water Damage

While you are out on the open water enjoying the boating season, you probably don't pay much attention to the potential damage that might be caused by water seeping into your boat. But, one of the most important off-season maintenance procedures you can follow is eliminating built-up water in areas such as:

*traps under sinks

*sea cocks

*strainers

*holding tanks

*any other area that could be hiding even a small area of water.

If left untreated, this hidden water can cause serious damage to your boat over the winter.
