Like other motoring enthusiasts, boat owners yearn to spend the bulk of their time playing with their toys, not maintaining them. Unfortunately, due to a higher degree of exposure to damaging elements and more prolonged periods of non use, boats typically require more frequent and fastidious care than other motorized vehicles. Any number of maintenance projects ranging in time from a few minutes to a few hours can make the difference between an exhilarating afternoon of breaking the waves and an expelitive laced day of breaking out the oars. Ultimate Boat Maintenance Projects features three dozen projects every boat owner should know in order to keep their craft running reliably and at peak performance. Ranging from the rote to more advanced, all projects coveredfrom minor interior and exterior repairs, to engine upkeep, trailer maintenance, and proper winterizing and storageare illustrated with helpful color photography and estimates of the time, skill level, and cost required for successful completion. In addition, each project is accompanied by a list of necessary tools and supplies, and concise explanations of the performance or safety gains the owner can expect in exchange for their time. Author Scott Sky Smith also provides an extensive supplies checklist, as well as addresses and Web listings for helpful resources. Whether your boat is 16 or 60 feet, inboard or outboard, open hulled or cabin equipped, Ultimate Boat Maintenance Projects is the perfect one stop guide to keeping boats and trailers safe, reliable, and running from season to season.
