Rinse Boat After Each Use

Rinse your boat with fresh water after each use to help reduce the need for cleansers and heavy-duty products.

Use Chemical Alternatives

Instead of chemicals, use alternative cleaning methods like baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, borax, and elbow grease.

Don’t overfill your fuel tank.

If you overflow onto the boat or dock, wipe up the spill with a rag; do not hose it into the water. If you do spill fuel or oil into the water, do not disperse it with detergent or soap.

Get On The Water

Getting out on the water is not only fun and great exercise, the more you use the water, the more likely it is you'll think about protecting it. So go ahead, go for a swim, get your fishing pole, take a boat for a ride, or attend a water festival near you.
