Ladies and Gentlemen- Do you have any tips or tricks that you use or do that can help a fellow boater out with a quick and easy yet thorough cleanup? Please share and help us all out
Do you guys keep your fish boxes open to completely dry in storage, or is this bad for the rams?
Do you spray wd-40 on any of your steel parts (buttons, hinges, latches) Can this harm the gelcoat if there is overspray?
Are on board chargers safe to leave plugged in?
What products do you reccomend to clean up the boat deck? -tennis shoes and blood are a killer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

take everything to the boat wash and hog it up for 30minutes, I'll scrub the deck with Ajax, don't get it on cushions. I'll get a natural citrus cleaner for the wells, helps with the smells, I wipe down all cushions with 303 wet or not, and I wipe down the outside with a 10/1 water/vinegar solution to remove and prvent water spots, shoot some corrosion-x (red can) on trailer plug, light connections, lugs, springs every time and under cowling and switch panel every six months, I may be forgetting something

After washing and cleaning my boat I flush the motor for 15 minutes. If I am pressed for time I flush it for 15 minutes. In other words I always flush my Yamaha for 15 minutes. It is a 1999 and I have never had a single problem with it, and I fish up to 30 miles offshore. I do use a folded rag to prop open ventilate my fish box after a good day.

Tilex and a stout brush gets my deck whiter than anything I have ever used.
