How To Prevent Sun Damage To Your Boat

The harsh sun rays are not only damaging to your skin, but they can also be damaging to your boat. Sun damage can cause everything from color changes to cracks on your boat.

Fortunately, there are preventative steps you can take. Use the following strategies to help prevent sun damage to your boat.

Use a Boat Cover

Try to keep your boat covered when it's not in use. This will protect it from the sun damage and also from dirt and debris.

Keep Your Boat Clean

When your boat's various materials are clean, it'll make any protectant products you apply more effective. The protectant can be properly absorbed and better able to shield your boat from sun damage.

Be sure to use a dedicated marine wash. Other cleaners can damage the boat's protective coating of wax.

Apply a Protectant

It's important to apply a boat wax or sealant to the boat's hull. This will help create a barrier against the sun's UV rays.

Check Your Boat Often

Inspect the boat regularly for any signs of sun damage, such as fading or peeling paint. If you see any damage, repair it immediately before it gets worse.

By following these tips, you can prevent sun damage to your boat and keep it looking like new for years to come!
