check your boat
DESCRIPTION
Boating is a great activity, so it’s of little surprise that it is one of the most preferred activities of Americans. Considering 90% of the Americans live within one hour’s drive to a water body that permits boating, this is really not a surprise. However, the challenge is, not every month of the year allows boating. Barring a few states, there are times during the year when the boat is out of use. However, irrespective of whether the boat’s in use or not, it should be checked at regular intervals.TRANSCRIPT

Check your boat
There are times during the year when the boat is out of use.
However, irrespective of whether the boat’s in use or not, it should be checked at regular intervals.
Here’s a couple of things you need to check before going yachting or boating.
Things to check before boating

The boat has sufficient fire extinguishers and they are usable and in working condition.
The lifelines and railings on the boat are in good conditions.
All hardware is tight and sealed well on the deck.
The rails are free of corrosion or snags that might cause it to break suddenly.
The surfaces skid.
