Maintenance

Regardless of your boat's size and systems, routine inspections and maintenance can alert you to potential problems.

Leaks from steering cables, drips from the last oil change, or fuel from leaky fittings can all find their way into the bilge. Explore these topics to learn ways to green your boat maintenance.
