From the Helm | Boating Tips

If your boat needs some TLC, don't worry; we've got your back with a lineup of top-notch cleaning products that will leave your boat looking shipshape.
1. On and Off Bottom and Hull Cleaner: Banishing Stains with Ease
If your boat has been soaking in the water a bit too long, you might notice those stubborn waterline stains. Fear not! On and Off Bottom and Hull Cleaner is here to save the day. This powerful cleaner effectively tackles tough stains without breaking a sweat. Just be cautious with the application, as it contains some potent ingredients. A small price to pay for a gleaming hull!
2. Vinyl Revival with Spray Nine
Exposed to the elements, your boat's vinyl, especially the seats, can start showing signs of wear and tear. Enter Spray Nine, your go-to solution for vinyl cleaning. Whether combating mildew or general grime, this cleaner works wonders. Post-cleaning, seal the deal with 303, ensuring your vinyl stays pristine.
3. 303: The Upholstery Whisperer
303 isn't just for vinyl; it's a remarkable all-around cleaner. From upholstery to rub rails on a Boston whaler, 303 does it all. Your boat will shine like it's brand new, and that's a promise.
4. Non-Skid Mid Deck Cleaner: Tackling the Tricky Spots
Navigating the nooks and crannies of your boat's non-skid surface can be a challenge. Non-Skid Mid Deck Cleaner is the secret weapon recommended by our parts expert. Follow the directions, scrub away, and watch your deck regain its former glory – just be cautious when it's wet; it can get slippery!
5. Star Brite Bilge Cleaner: Cleaning Responsibly
Caring for your boat includes being mindful of the environment. The Star Brite Bilge Cleaner is not only effective but also environmentally safe. Keep your bilge in shipshape condition without harming the waters it sails through.
6. All-in-One Spotless Shine Cleaner: Bringing Brilliance to Surfaces
For the finishing touch, our parts department swears by the All-in-One Spotless Shine Cleaner. Ideal for acrylic windshields, glass windows, and engine cowlings, this product leaves surfaces looking slick, shiny, and ready for a day on the water.
Conclusion: Clean with Care
We get it – cleaning the boat isn't everyone's favorite pastime. But if you're going to do it, why not do it right? Our recommended products promise a spotless boat and prioritize environmental responsibility. Head to your local MarineMax store to grab these fantastic products. If they don't have the exact match, they'll get it for you. After all, a clean boat is a happy boat, and we want you to enjoy every moment on the water. We’ll see you out there.
