Buying a new or used boat is not a piece of cake for everyone, especially those purchasing a vessel for the first time. Let’s take the example of James. James cracked a cheap deal for the boat from a dealer and got the delivery of your first boat at your place. Initially, he felt delighted but soon discovered a small leak in the starboard leg. James contacted the dealer, and they agreed to the service but needed him to bring the boat to their service center, which is 60 miles away from his home!! He did not own a tow vehicle, so he connected with the local dealership. They also agree to the service, but it will take them an enormously long time and an unusually high rate because they are not the authorized service provider of his boat’s brand.

Much like your car, bike, and other vehicles, your boat requires routine maintenance to keep it running smoothly and deliver optimum performance. However, many boat owners fail to take care of their vessels regularly. It results in below-par output, and in the end, the owner uses the boat less and less as time progresses. Thus, even after spending money on their favourite vessel, people cannot enjoy it with full enthusiasm. When you purchase a new or used vessel, you should also ask your boat dealer to provide its service schedule. Here’s what you can look for choosing the right marine mechanic and how to develop a boat maintenance checklist.
