Getting your Boat Ready for the New Season

As winter fades, it’s time to get your boat ready for the spring cruising season. Here’s a quick checklist to ensure a smooth start:

  1. Hull & Exterior Checks — Inspect for damage, clean off winter grime, and apply a fresh coat of antifoul if needed.
  2. Engine & Fuel System — Check fuel lines, replace filters, top up oil, and ensure the engine runs smoothly.
  3. Batteries & Electrics — Recharge or replace batteries, test lights, and inspect wiring for any winter damage.
  4. Water System & Plumbing — Flush through any antifreeze, check pipes for cracks, and ensure pumps are working.
  5. Safety Equipment — Inspect life jackets, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.
  6. Canal & River Licence — Ensure your CRT or EA licence is up to date before setting off.

By following these steps, your boat will be ready to enjoy UK canals and rivers without a hitch this season.
