Unlike a car that mysteriously stops nowhere, it would be much scarier if the same thing happened with the boat. But on the positive side, the word travelling is given a whole new meaning when it comes to exploring waters. This is why having invested on a great boat or even a yacht is amazing. However, it is important that you maintain it well enough so that you won’t have to replace parts which would cost a fortune. How can you know when it needs a repair?

Here are 5 such signs! Discoloration of the hullYour boat hull will slowly depreciate its strength as your boat sails across the Brisbane marinas facing all sorts of tides and sea creatures. With the time, the oxidation reactions and the sheer reduction of strength will bring an easy-to-see discoloration. This discoloration is like a bad sore; the longer you wait, the worse it gets. If you were not keen enough to at least invite a specialist to your dock and get a quick checkup, the consequences will be quite costly.Visible structural defectsNothing lies to your eyes if you’re observant enough.

Why not get a good sandblasting job done, get it repainted with antifoul and finish it with a great detailing? It would prolong the lifespan of the boat whilst eliminate costly replacements.Continuous seepage of waterIf you’ve seen it once, then you probably wait until you see it again. Once a small hole is made on the hull and the bottom for the water to seep in, the flow will never be gentle. The more the surface area of the bottom, the more the pressure would be. That’s simply why you should not take chances letting the openings to spread, because it will, almost instantaneously, if not repaired.
