Log It


As the season gets busier, our tips get quicker. Read Crowley’s Quick Tips to get a jump on getting the boat fitted out for summer. Read about keeping a log book and keeping your head flushing like a poker-playing wizard.
· Keep a log book to record any problems, needed repairs or upgrades wanted. At the end of the season, you’ll know what you need instead of having to depend on your memory. Log books also help keep track of maintenance schedules and costs, fuel usage, repair dates and trips. If you have partners, this is especially helpful.

· When cleaning your head, don’t use chlorine or ammonia. This eats the inside coating of the white sanitation hoses and lets out the smell from inside.

· Flush vegetable oil down your head to keep the parts working. About 2 tablespoons every spring should do it, more often with heavy use. For a vacuflush, take piece of paper towel, coat with Teflon®, and coat the rubber seal at the bottom of the bowl. Do not use a petroleum product for this.
