Steve's Marine's Marine Minute

 
Milfoil, Algae, Seaweed
  For boaters these names conjure up a variety of emotions. This is Steve at Steve's Marine Service and today on the Marine Mintue we'll talk about measures you can take to avoid problems.
 
First and formost, when entering bays or other bodies of water you are not familiar with,
GO SLOW
Keep an eye on your depth finder
Look for telltale foliage and blooms which YOU SHOULD AVOID COMPLETELY.
 
If you find yourself in seaweed, check your gauges IMMEDIATELY.
 
 
  If your engine is heating up
STOP YOUR ENGINE
CLEAR THE INTAKE WATER VENTS AND PROP OF ANY OBSTRUCTION
 
 
  If your engine is not heating up
Leave the area in question and when clear
STOP YOUR ENGINE
CHECK FOR WEEDS ENTANGLED AROUND THE PROP, SHAFT and/or WATER INTAKE VENTS
 
 
  By taking these measures, you can avoid problems that could lead to expensive repair bills not to mention putting a damper on your boating .
 
 
  This Marine Minute is brought to you by Steve's Marine Service where we help you in many ways enjoy your boating experience from Service to Safety.
  Steve's Marine Service just off I90 and Barker on Alki.
