Real maintenance guides built for South Florida boat owners. Some are free for everyone — the full library is available to ClearHull Network members.
What to do and what NOT to do after a ceramic coating application. Wash schedules, products to avoid, and how to make your coating last as long as possible in South Florida saltwater.
The proper way to rinse your vessel after every trip — engine flush, deck rinse sequence, hardware wipe-down, and what to check each time you return to dock. Five minutes that save thousands.
How to assess your antifouling coating condition, spot early marine growth, identify blistering, and know exactly when it's time for a haul-out. Includes a visual reference chart.
Step-by-step procedure for after heavy weather, tropical storms, or extended dock time. Covers fresh water flush, hardware inspection, bilge check, and documentation of any damage.
Our comprehensive checklist for keeping your boat in peak condition year-round in South Florida's climate. Covers mechanical, cosmetic, safety, and documentation — nothing missed.
Proper cleaning, oiling, and sealing of exterior teak and brightwork to protect against UV damage and salt exposure. The right products, the right sequence, the right frequency for Florida.
Get your vessel ready for a marine survey. What to clean, fix, document, and disclose before the surveyor comes aboard — and how to present your boat in the best possible light.
For vessels with ceramic coatings applied. Deep wash procedures, ceramic booster application, contamination removal, and when to schedule a professional inspection of your coating.
A safe, non-technical walkthrough for checking your boat's electrical connections, battery health, shore power setup, and identifying corrosion before it becomes an expensive problem.
