It’s important to think about a maintenance schedule to guard against windlass failure.
There’s no such thing as too much time spent looking over critical systems before leaving a dock.
Poultice corrosion can lead to costly repairs if it’s not caught and remedied quickly. Here’s how the pros do it.
Good plumbing is paramount to prevent fuel-flow interruption, which can damage a boat’s engine.
When it comes to haulouts, the nightmares we boaters endure can range from head-scratching to hilarious.
Choosing the right fuel filters can go a long way toward stopping contamination problems in your diesel engines.
Look for products that do not harm the environment, and avoid single-use plastics.
You can get what you want with a project boat or a turnkey vessel, but only if you take a hard look in the mirror first.
A smart ground system will help protect metal parts of the boat that live below the waterline.
Replacing portlight screens can help keep a boat bug-free.
With the right products and tools, along with a healthy portion of elbow grease, it’s possible to give an older sailboat’s gelcoat a new lease on life.
