About this ebook
STOP WORKING ON YOUR BOAT AND GET OUT ON THE WATER!
Save money and time with these 1,001 tested tips from Sandy Lindsey, a boat-maintenance contributor to Boating magazine for many years. In Quick and Easy Boat Maintenance, Lindsey has culled the best of her years of advice and gathered the top suggestions from her readers. These handy, natural solutions work amazingly well—and are environmentally friendly.
Boats last longer and look more beautiful with proper care. But that care takes a lot less time when you work smart. See how you can make your winterizing and spring commissioning chores go much faster and learn Lindsey's labor-saving secrets for tackling:
- Teak, canvas, and carpet care
- Painting, metal cleaning, and polishing
- Fiberglass and gelcoat cleaning and repair
- Engine care and winterizing
- Mildew--how to get rid of it, how to prevent it
This second edition is updated with green solutions, information about dealing with ethanol in fuel, how to maintain the new batteries, and an all-new chapter on maintenance aspects of sailboats (sail care, winches, lines, and wire rigging).
Putting the helpful hints of Quick and Easy Boat Maintenance to work can change your boating life. Less time working means more time boating!
"A treasure chest of proven labor-savers that can help get those pesky maintenance chores done faster." -- Observer-Dispatch
