Hello,
I am wrapping up my first season with a boat and wanted to ask about what to do once I take it out of the water. I'll be taking it out in a few weeks and wanted to see what I needed to prepare to do.
For starters, I will be taking into the local dealer to get my 10-hour maintenance done as I am just over the 10-hour mark.
Since the boat has been in the water since June, I figured I would need to clean the hull as my lake tends to leave a stain. So, I already bought a boat brush and some cleaner. I figured I would do a light pressuring washing of the hull and then use the cleaner per the direction.
So my questions ... Should I also wax the boat? If so, how? Do I buy an angle buffer and wax or just use the stray on and wipe off wax? Is there anything specific for the gel coat? I really liked that slick clean feel when it came home from the dealer.
The boat will be stored in my garage where the temps stay above 32 deg F. for the winter.
Thanks and sorry for the rookie questions.
