MARINE
MAINTENANCE COURSE |
The
full enjoyment of boating includes both the pleasure
of using the boat and the satisfaction of properly
maintaining it. To many boaters, working on their
boat is part of the fun, to say nothing of the
savings in costs.
All boats need maintenance to correct for the
gradual deterioration from wear and tear let alone
exposure to the elements. A boater should be
constantly on the alert for signs of vessel
degradation, and make repairs while the problem is
minor.
