    Maintenance 1. Maintenance Routine inspection, service and maintenance of your boat, systems and components are vital to assure safety, and will prolong the life of your boat. The interval between necessary service or maintenance is highly variable, depending on the environment in which your boat will be used. For example, corrosion of boats parts and components will occur far more rapidly in a salt water environment than on a boat which is used in fresh water.

    Frequent routine cleaning of your stainless steel will help maintain the finish. Drago boats recommends that you wash stainless steel components with mild soap and cold or lukewarm water after every use of the boat. If added protection is necessary, apply a cleaning wax.
