After each use it’s important to clean your grill thoroughly. Using a heavy duty brush, remove any leftover food bits. If your grill has a grease trap, be sure to remove and clean it.
Once you have finished boating for the day, give the outside of your grill a good wipe down. While all of the grills use strong mechanics, water, especially sea water, can be corrosive. Cleaning the outside of a grill might not seem practical when you’re doing it, but if you want to prevent rust and corrosion, take good care of all the parts of your grill.
At the end of the boating and grilling season, take apart your boat grill and make sure all the parts are in working order. Check your burners and gas line to ensure there are no cracks or breaks. Store your boat grill in a cool, dry area. If it comes with a cover, be sure to use it. Alternately a clean drop cloth will work well.
When the new boating season begins, take out your boat grill and do a complete inspection before taking it out to the boat. It’s best to inspect the grill a few weeks before its first use to see if there are any issues to fix.
