Boat Propellers: Does yours need some TLC?

Hi friends,

When's the last time you took a look at your boat's propeller? Did you run into something that could have damaged it last time you were out? Is it possibly so worn it doesn't work like it should?

In this brief video, I'm talking to you about how to know when your prop should be replaced; the process is amazingly simple. Having the best prop you can on your vessel will help ensure its highest functioning.

We send props out all the time for maintenance, repair and sometimes...replacement. Call me to learn more: 386-738-3701.

Thanks and see you soon,
Captain Ed

Extend your boat's life with a propertly fitted custom cover

Today we’re talking about custom boat covers. This Fourwinds is about four years old. It was garage kept until recently, but now is stored on a lake dock. The tenting, thanks in part to interior structures, keep the water from pooling on this handmade cover, and will help keep this boat in its best possible condition. All-stainless steel fasteners, a few snaps and high-quality fabric are essential to this project.

At Bob’s Discount Marine Supply in DeLand, we built the interior structure out of sturdy PVC, and it’s fully collapsible and storable. We order covers that are handmade locally for a perfect custom fit.

Extend the life of your boat with a custom cover. Call us today for an estimate and let’s keep your boat in its best condition in and out of the water.
