While docking in a slip enables you to secure a boat from all sides, it necessitates more ropes than simply securing it to the pier. While some slips include both cleats and pilings, others only have one. A cleat hitch is the most simple knot of all; however, you can learn to do more complex knots after you’re familiar with tying up your boat at a dock.

With the stern line, loop it at the back of the boat and run the rope all the way to the dock. Secure one end of the bow line at the very top of the boat and move its other end to the dockside. Then run a spring line from a cleat near the stern to the dock in front of your boat. You will need three on both the starboard and port sides of the vessel.

To me, the best fuel additive is ultimately the one that consistently delivers everything I need from them while helping me save money, time, and effort when boating.

I have used SeaFoam fuel additives for several years and have always been happy with them. I observed the dramatic improvement it made to the Yamaha outboard motor on my boat, which was already fuel-efficient. This 4-stroke outboard gas increased the MPG of my fishing boat even more, by as much as 3 miles, to be precise. This is usually a wonderful bonus for me as a frequent fisher.

The bearings and grease caps undoubtedly lent themselves to the smoother rides I started to enjoy once I installed this trailer brake. I’m not going to be raining praises on the overall quality of the materials, though. Nonetheless, I’m glad that the entire setup’s still working seamlessly after 1 year of monthly use.

I added this LIBRA trailer brake on my trailer and fit perfectly the work is good and easy to install but I wish there was a set of installation bolts with it. They have good stopping power on my tandem trailer with 6000 lbs on board.

There are many types of glue that are pretty flammable, which is dangerous for marine applications. However, with Roberts Carpet Glue, you can be certain. One thing I love most about this carpet glue is its ease of application. I just needed to spread the adhesive and gave it an open time of up to one hour. Then, I let the glue dry after putting the carpet on the flooring by limiting foot traffic for up to 48 hours.

Although the fiberglass bilges and hulls are not prone to corrosion, the transom is susceptible to rusting. You can blame the stainless steel bracket for this too. Despite the gel coat covering, there’s no way to avoid water intrusion and surface deterioration.

Reinforce a fiberglass boat transom is an ideal solution for a boat owner to ensure the transom stays tough because it supports the engine or motor that makes your boat work. The finishing touch still involves epoxy; you have to fill in the gaps. Sand the excess epoxy on the edges so you don’t need to revive the fiberglass skin. The plywood shouldn’t be carried to the edge of the transom.
