Product Description

BOAT MAINTENANCE is something that every boat owner must come to grips with sooner or later. Aside from any manufacturer’s claims, there is no such thing as a maintenance-free boat, so it behooves the boater to know as much as possible, because There are No Plumbers at Sea!

This program deals with the basics that any boat owner can handle – and avoid the usually high cost involved with the hiring of a local boat repair person (if they even show up at all).

Starting right at the bottom, you are shown proper care of the Thru-Hull Fittings and then on to fighting Electrolysis, the Marine Head (problems, the "Y" valve, lubrication, flapper & joker valves, anti-siphon loops and a complete re-build). Next are taking care of Holding Tanks, Water Pumps (re-building both impeller and diaphram-type pumps), Marine Batteries, Bilge/Engine maintenance (diesel or gas), Brightwork (varnishing), Winch maintenance and many miscellaneous areas like Lifelines, Stanchions, Regulators, Hose Clamps, Filters, Strainers & Emergency Bilge Pumps, etc., etc.

This program pays for itself the first time you use the learned information to unclog the marine head that your thoughtless landlubber boating guest stuffs up.
