Are there recommendations for seasonal maintenance for products?

Seasonal maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of marine products. Eastern Marine emphasizes the importance of taking care of your equipment to avoid more significant issues down the line. For instance, during the spring, it is wise to inspect and clean all items that may have been exposed to the elements during the winter months. This may involve checking the hull for any signs of wear or damage, cleaning the propeller, and ensuring that bilge pumps are functioning as they should. As summer approaches, regular maintenance on engines should take priority. This can include changing fuel filters, checking oil levels, and inspecting cooling systems to prevent overheating. Proper care of your vessel is crucial in enjoying those long summer outings safely. When autumn arrives, it is time to prepare for winter storage. This may consist of thoroughly cleaning and drying your boat, winterizing engines, and ensuring all electrical components are properly stored. It is also essential to check seals and hatches for any degradation that might lead to water intrusion during the off-season. Finally, in winter, if the marine products are not in use, ensuring they are kept in a dry place and regularly checked can prevent unexpected damage caused by temperature fluctuations. For specific instructions related to particular products, it is best to consult the product manuals or the relevant sections of the Eastern Marine website for up-to-date information and guidance.
