rks with two non-working Mercury outboards. They arrived on Wednesday & our team immediately took to action to get the motors in working order. On Thursday the first outboard was repaired and was quickly back on the water to practice for the upcoming show. Then on Friday, the day before the show, we finished up the second repair. Within just a couple of days, we had both boats back on the creek, the performances would go on!
lists of items to buy before the trip, items to bring in the car for the ride to the lake and also a list of items to go on the boat. Of course we remember the snacks and drinks, the water skis and fishing poles all which are a necessity for having a great time. However, with the fun list of toys comes a short list of safety items which could be a huge help in the event of a boating emergency. While we will never use all of these safety items, having the right tools when you need them can make all the difference. In fact, missing some of these items can make or break your fun day. Better yet, having the right safety gear on your boat can save a life.
it's almost spring even though all the clouds and rain make it feel like a distant dream. As we are just entering the month of April, its time to get your boat out of storage and begin yourspring boat maintenance. So the question is: where to start? First, ask yourself if you are you a do-it-yourselfer? Do you like to get your hands dirty and enjoy the challenge of understanding the ins & outs of boat maintenance? Or, do you prefer bringing your boat in for service and sitting back and letting the experts handle it? The good news is that US Boatworks has you covered no matter which option you choose.
If the customer is inclined, we will suggest checking for fuel leaks, reviewing all fittings and connectors for leaks and testing the fuel bulb. We also ask if the fuel lines have been replaced and if so, what brand has been installed? When the answer is the fuel lines have been replaced by lines purchased at a large discount store, we suggest purchasing OEM fuel lines and installing them with new fittings. The fuel lines from the discount stores last a fraction of that of an OEM line. The quick deterioration of the generic lines often times cause boaters more problems than the money saved up front. Frequent replacing of lines and time lost on the water is far more costly than simply purchasing the OEM lines to begin with. If fuel lines have never been replaced, they still may need to be changed out with new OEM lines to insure fuel can reach the motor with ease.
