As spring marches closer and everyone wants to be on the water, we came up with our top 5 Spring Launch Checks that we, at CYW, find most important. Is your boat ready?

1. Safety First.
   Check for frayed lines, ragged fenders and expiration dates on your flare kits or extinguishers. What about your lifesaving equipment? Is everything in working order and properly maintained? Take a look now before it’s too late and get your safety gear up to speed.
2. Annual Service.
   If you’re not keeping up with your annual maintenance, it will catch up with you! Our Technicians are OEM/Factory trained with the right tools for the right jobs. Don’t lose out on a day boating due to a breakdown. Make sure we can service your boat and stay out on the water, longer, this summer. It’s where you belong.
3. Protect Your Boat.
   Keep your boat clean with a fresh detail or boat wash! Our detail crew comes recommended city-wide. Everyone LOVES Maya and his crew and most of our business is referral based. A detail will protect your boat throughout the season and help shed water to keep her looking pristine.
4. Bottom Paint.
   You’d be surprised how many people overlook the importance of bottom paint. For more info on why bottom paint matters before launching, CLICK HERE.
5. CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES.
   This is one of those small, yet huge details that most people forget about. Are your batteries ready to go?
