As the sun starts to linger longer in the sky and the waters begin to warm, it's a clear signal that boating season is just around the corner. Preparing your boat for the upcoming season is not just about ensuring a fun and memorable summer on the water; it's also crucial for maintaining the longevity and performance of your prized possession. At River City Boat Sales & Marine Services, we're here to guide you through the essential steps to get your boat season-ready and to introduce you to the exceptional services we offer to make this process as seamless as possible.

Step 1: Inspection and Maintenance

  • The first step in preparing your boat for the season is a thorough inspection and maintenance check. This includes checking the hull for any signs of damage, ensuring the battery is charged and connections are clean, and inspecting the fuel system for leaks or damage. It's also the perfect time to have your engine checked by professionals. We specialize in servicing Yamaha Marine and Volvo Penta engines, ensuring that your boat is in peak condition for the upcoming season.

Step 2: Cleaning and Detailing

  • After the long winter months, your boat will need a good clean to protect its surfaces and keep it looking its best. A thorough wash, wax, and interior detailing not only enhances the appearance of your boat but also protects it from the harsh marine environment. We offer comprehensive cleaning and detailing services to bring back that showroom shine.

Step 3: Safety Equipment Check

  • Safety should always be a top priority. Before hitting the water, make sure all your safety equipment, including life jackets, fire extinguishers, and flares, are in good condition and easily accessible. It's also a good time to review your onboard first aid kit and replenish any used or expired items.

Step 4: Update Your Gear

  • Consider updating or adding new equipment to enhance your boating experience. Whether it's the latest navigation system, a high-quality sound system, or comfortable seating, the right gear can make a significant difference in your enjoyment on the water.
