5 Great Boat Cleaning Tips

By James Fletcher

Boats and salt water do not mix. Salt water causes corrosion that will rapidly eat into your wonderfuljet boat. Below are 5 tips to stop your beautiful boat becoming a rusted wreck.

1) Always wash immediately or as soon as possible after you have been in the water. Also be sure to use fresh water (not bore or underground water as this will cause staining). Spend a little bit of time cleaning your boat. If you rush it you will almost certainly miss spots which will cause premature rusting and corrosion to your boat.

2) Try using a soap attachment to your hose pipe. This helps in stopping corrosion by neutralizing the acid of the salt water.

3) Be sure to clean your trailer as well as your boat. Specifically target the back of the trailer where it is fully submersed in the water. Also be sure to water down the back of your car. Even if your car has not touched the water, if it is parked near the ocean for any period of time it will gradually get a salt build up occurring.

4) If ever waxing, start at an inconspicuous part of the boat. Wax can eat into the paintwork and make a great deal of mess so test your wax first on a small area to make sure this won't happen to you.

5) Remember to wash the inside of the boat as well. All gear should be washed down. Sensitive electronic gear and the like should be covered to avoid water penetrating into electronic components. Consider wiping these components down with a slightly wet rag.

Remember, salt water gets everywhere so take your time and be sure to properly clean your boat after every use.

Safety considerations in buying a jet ski are of the first import. For example, most modern jet skis have a lanyard. The lanyard turns the jet ski off automatically if you fall off or overturn the jet ski. A very old jet ski may not have a lanyard, so be certain to ascertain that a used jet ski has one prior to purchasing.

Some Things You Should Know About The Jet Ski

By Brian Johansson


A Jet ski is a personal watercraft vehicle that can accomodate 1 - 4 persons depending on the model. They were first developed by Yamaha as a one person model, and their popularity has caused other companies to join the booming market for similar watercrafts. The original design had the rider standing or crouching on a small platform towards the rear of the craft. The rider could vary his or her position with a steering column the could move vertically up and down. This aided in variable standing positions as well as letting the rider move with wave action as necessary.

The most notable innovation that came with the Jet Ski design was the jet propulsion system that it incorporated. The Jet Ski was powered bringing water into a tube and pushing out of the rear, thus createing the 'jet' effect. This is done by a impeller inside the tube. The tube can also be moved side to side horizontally for steering purposes. This power system is ideal for small watercrafts because it is safe and fast. There is no external propeller or rudder for passengers to worry about. The jet drive is also a very quick means of accelleration for light watercrafts.

Since the first Jet Ski gained huge popularity, the other designs have almost completely replaced the original design. All personal watercrafts still use the same jet propulsion, but the body design is very different. Newer designs are larger and they use a motorcycle style seat that is much more comfortable for cruising and it easily fits more than one passenger. depending on the length of the seat, you can fit 1 - 4 passengers comfortably. The first design of this watercraft was called the WaveRunner and it was made for 2 persons. Modern designs average room for 3 persons because the Jet Ski has now become an alternative to a boat because of its versatility and low price tag.

A yacht is a recreational boat. It designates two rather different classes of watercraft, sailing and power yachts. Yachts are differentiated from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose. It was not until the ascendancy of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury items. However, since the level of luxury on larger yachts has seen an increasing trend, the use of the word yacht to mean any sailing vessel has been diminishing and is more and more limited to racing yachts or cruising yachts.
