I’m needing a dummy’s guide to boat care. 

 

What do do I do with carpet, how do I wash it?

How do I patch holes from

previous owners putting mounts everywhere?

How long do I keep it plugged in before and after fishing trips?

Can I fill in holes in the fiberglass where stuff was mounted?

How do I get the hull to shine instead of just the glitter to sparkle after I wipe the dust off of it?

What do I need to do to get the engine to shift smooth and run without smoking me out?

 

Basically, how do I get and keep a 32 year old fiberglass Laser boat in good working order?

Carpet-power washer and some mild soap

Mount holes-small holes 3M 5200, and large holes you can use a plumbers escutcheon.

Charge your batteries fully after each trip and top off the night before you head out

Toilet bowl cleaner will remove water deposits. 

No answer for the motor 

Try Boat Bling Hot Sauce to remove the water deposits.

What engine, make, model, hp and year, do you have and are you using the auto lube function?  For shifting the cables need adjustment or the idle speed needs to be reduced.  Snap it in gear don't laze it in.
