Keep your electric boat looking and running great all year long by following the maintenance advice listed below!


1. Battery maintenance for boats.

Another crucial maintenance tip to guarantee the long-term dependability of your electric boat is boat battery maintenance. The electric boat can operate on the water for up to 1,200 cycles after being charged and filled with water. While performing routine maintenance, avoid filling the battery with water. Just fill it up to the top of the board, which is about 0.5 inches below. The battery can be charged while doing this as well. A battery pack that has been used more than 75 times or a battery that has been in use for six months shouldn't be given new batteries. Replace brand-new batteries with well-used ones if possible, or replace them entirely. Last but not least, icing issues could arise if your battery is not fully charged in cold weather. Make sure batteries are fully charged prior to winterizing them.

2. Exterior Cleaning

One of the most crucial steps you can take to keep your electric boat in good condition is to keep the exterior clean and free of salt and debris. Maintaining a spotless exterior keeps the boat's appearance lasting longer and helps to stop the spread of invasive species. Keeping the exterior of the boat clean also preserves the finish and safeguards the structure. One of the best cleansers for an electric boat's surface is Micron's Marine/RV Gel Wash. The fact that this cleaning method is environmentally friendly is a major benefit. Alternatively, you can use 4U, a non-toxic degreasing cleaner that aids in removing tough stains from boat surfaces.


3. Hull Cleaning: Ensure that the boat's bottom is spotless.

Clean the bottom of your electric boat frequently to keep the hull's structural integrity. The growth of sea life, which the salt water promotes, is one issue that boats deal with. To stop the growth of seaweed, it is crucial to make sure that the bottom of the boat is regularly cleaned and repainted. Make sure to hand scrub or use high pressure to get all of the algae out of the case. A professional polishes and waxes them every year to protect them. This is crucial, particularly if your case is complicated. Over time, the color will deteriorate due to lack of polishing and waxing.

4. Storage


Ensure that your electric boat is stored properly. When storing your electric boat, exercise extra caution. Your electric boat will be protected from weather damage by proper storage, especially during the winter. In order to prevent mold growth, you can also make sure that the airflow inside the boat is adequate. Make sure to cover your electric boat with a cover if you intend to store it outside. If at all possible, get a pro to help you downsize your electric boat. By doing this, the boat will be covered while also receiving good ventilation.
