New England Boating TV was treated to a week of beautiful weather

“Once again, the crew of New England Boating TV was treated to a week of beautiful weather during our return to the Casco Bay area to shoot our Portland episode. We started by launching the Pursuit C260 at the Yarmouth Boat Yard on Tuesday before making our way south to Falmouth and Handy Boat, where we docked for lunch at the Dockside Grill.

Top 5 ways to keep your boat maintenance Earth-friendly

Top 5 ways to keep your boat maintenance Earth-friendly

1. Prevent fuel spills by installing a device to prevent overboard discharges from your tank vent and keep a supply of oil absorbant rags on board for spill cleanup of oil and fuel. Even small spills of oil can contaminate a large volume of water.

2. Properly dispose of used oil and filters - facilities are available to handle these elements which are toxic to the marine environment. In the US call 1 800 CLEANUP, and in Canada call 1 800-667-4321 for the nearest disposal facility.

3. Never mix wastes, or pour hazardous wastes down drains, on the ground or into surface waters.

4. Use green products or non-toxic cleaners - many cleaning products contain chemicals that are toxic to aquatic ecosystems. Try using natural cleaners. For example:

For fiberglass stains - Try making a paste of baking soda and water. Use a sponge or soft cloth and GENTLY rub the mix into the stain. Baking soda is abrasive, so use with care. Use a light touch of lemon or lime juice as a final wipe-down for a shiny, fresh-smelling finish.

For windows and mirrors - mix vinegar, lemon juice and warm water. Fill a spray bottle with the solution. Spray it on your windows and wipe with a lint-free cloth that doesn’t lint up.

For chrome - use apple cider vinegar on a soft cotton cloth to rub it clean and finish with a fresh cloth using a spit of baby oil giving it a bright shine.

For brass or copper - Mix baking soda and white vinegar together to create a paste. Then, rub the paste into the copper or brass object that you wish to clean. Rinse, and buff with a dry cloth.

For stainless steel - clean with a cloth dampened with undiluted white vinegar.

For aluminum - using a soft cloth, clean with a solution of cream of tartar and water.

For plastic surfaces - use a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts warm water.

For decks - use a mixture of one part white vinegar and eight parts warm water.

For interior wood - Mix equal parts of lemon juice and olive oil. Apply a small amount to a cloth, and rub onto the furniture in long, even strokes.

5. Limit dock side hull cleaning to the above water surface area only and rinse your boat with fresh water.

Yarmouth Boat Yard Service and Sales

Yarmouth Boat Yard recently attended Pursuit's Offshore University at their factory in Fort Pierce, Florida. Pursuit was very excited to announce gains in market share for yet another year and after touring the facility and meeting many of the employees it is not difficult to see why.
Pursuit's plant is second to none and their ability to manufacture over 90% of the parts that go into every model under their own roof is certainly a contributing factor to their success.
By making their own canvas, wiring harnesses, upholstery, electrical boards, windshield frames, cabinetry, teak & holly floors, etc.. they are able to closely monitor quality and ensure a superior fit and finish on every boat that leaves the plant.
We encourage those that have the ability to visit their facility to do so. Tours are free and they are offered daily. Contact Yarmouth Boat Yard or Pursuit at 1-800-947-8778 to set up your own tour today!
