The first warm rain always means it s time to net a few buckets of smelt. The first mild weekend of spring I intend to get the boat unwrapped and start going over things. The outdrive must be thoroughly checked out by qualified mechanics. That will guarantee you a season of operation, providing you don t hit a slightly submerged drift log. The engine requires just the same professional attention, plugs, points, timing, fuel filters and conditioner.
Outboard motors fall into the same category.
Marine mechanics from Kincardine, Port Elgin, Southampton, Owen Sound, Wiarton and Oliphant will look after your need, but give them a call to book your time. Don t wait till the last minute and expect service. I always recommend you allow at least four hours to make the rounds. Everything outdoors-related is displayed at this event. The Canadian Coast Guard booth has all the information on boating regulations.
