Summer is Officially Here!!

Today is finally the first of summer!  Nothing says summer fun, like boating.  Whether you are taking the kids wakeboarding or water skiing, or you are setting out on a weekend cruise; boating is fun in the sun.  Depending on where you are in the country, you may have been having warm summer temperatures already or like some of us here in the Northwest waiting for summer-its here.

If you are new to boating, I recommend heading over to DiscoverBoating.com.  They are a great resource to finding out what boat and where would best suit you.

If you're already a boat owner, head over to BargainBoatParts.com and check our current deals and summer offers.  Remember to check back often , as we continue to add products and deals!

Trailer Time

Summer is fast approaching and the boat is going in the water, or hopefully there already!  Now is the time to inspect and repair the trailer.  Here is a quick checklist:

-Make sure your coupler, hitch and hitch ball are all the same size
-Make sure your safety chains are proper length and secured to the trailer.
-All fasteners are properly tightened
-Wheel lug nuts are properly tightened
-Check the condition of your winch strap and winch
-Make sure you have proper transom straps and tie downs.  Your winch strap is not a tiedown!
-Check your trailer tire condition and air pressure, and don't forget the spare
-Check to see if your brakes are properly adjusted and in good condition (if equipped)
-Check all lighting to insure it is all working and visible

Performing any repairs to your trailer is much easier with the boat off, and preventing any failures is always a good idea.  Of course if you need any parts or item for your trailer BargainBoatParts.com has you covered.

Happy and Safe Boating!

Time for a Walk


Now is the time of year, that cabin fever sets in for sure.  The holidays are over and all we can do is think about the warm sunny days on the water.  This is time of year is also a good time to go for a walk.  That is a walk around your boat.  Now is a good time to do a thorough walk around your boat, and be looking for upcoming failures.  But don’t just walk around with a sharp eye and think that is good enough.  If you are a sailboater, now is a great time to check your rigging.  Look closely at the sheets and halyards, making sure nothing fraying.  Look at the stays and shrouds, trying to identify corrosion of any type.  Loosen turnbuckles, and make sure there is no corrosion between the body and threaded ends.  Powerboaters, look over your cooling system.  If not done at winterize, remove the impeller for proper inspection.  If you have a closed loop cooling system, test the antifreeze and look for a rust color in the antifreeze.  Look at your ground tackle, and make sure the rode and chain are in good shape.  Check your shackles, and make sure they are also in good condition.  Remember the better the inspection you do now, the less likely a breakdown or failure will keep you off the water this summer.  Also, remember BargainBoatParts.com is there to help you find any replacement parts you need should you identify potential problems.

Happy and Safe Boating,
