Rowdy was good as gold

Hey Jim, when you rise the boat back on the lift do you power wash the drives and hull to clean the salt off?

Also, do you hook the engines up to a hose and run fresh water through the blocks? How much time do you think you spend cleaning everything after you're done using the boat?


Btw, your dog is adorable lol

Yes, it has closed cooling systems, so the salt water only get into the exhausts and it also fresh water flush outs that when we get done boating for the day I just hook up the hose that's at the dock and flush each engine for ten minutes or so, then we completely wash/rinse the boat with "dawn" and wipe her down.

I rinse the drives off with fresh water, after every other time they get wet I spray them with WD40 and then I wash them once in a while, they actually look really good, they don't have any affects of salt water at all, but I'm ADD about keeping the boat clean, even if we don't got out, the boat gets washed every week.

I'm guessing we spend about 2-3 hours on cleaning the boat after we use it, most of it we do the next day, I only flush out the engines and rinse it off the boat when we get home, then we do almost everything else the next day, it's just easier that way.

Thanks about Rowdy she's been great so far, gonna be a good boater for us, can't wait to take her to the dog beach.
