Importance of Spring Commissioning

With today kicking off Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start to the boating season, Boat U.S. Towing released some statistics that solidify the importance of a thorough spring commissioning. They expect that over 3,400 recreational boaters will need assistance this weekend. Of the total number of calls, the majority are expected to be the result of incomplete spring commissioning and fuel that has gone bad over the winter. Boat U.S. states that they see a lot of people rushing to get their boat in the water, and then encounter problems once they get out there. Here is a basic check list to review courtesy of Boat U.S.

In addition to this list don’t forget to give special care and attention to your tube. First be sure the tube is fully inflated. Next wash the tubes with soap and water. For those really dirty spots use some Aurora Speed Clean. Aurora Poly Guard is also a great product to have on hand, as it protects your tube from UV damage and oxidation.
