Before stowing your boat for the winter months, we recommend rinsing it off with fresh water in order to get rid of any debris or salt that may have accumulated over the last few months of use. Don’t forget the rudder, cables and foot braces as well. You may want to get at it with a mild soap and water a few times a year to give it a good washing. We don’t recommend using any strong chemicals as they may damage your boat. Allow it to air dry before stowing it.
