Your Boat Parts Buying Guide

As a responsible boat owner, you’ll want to do whatever you can to keep it in good working order. It can be frustrating if you can’t immediately make repairs to your boat because you don’t have the right parts on hand. This guide will help you gather up spare parts that you’ll replace on a regular basis so that you can quickly fix your boat and get back to enjoying it.

Fluids

Your boat engine uses a few different fluids to function properly. You’ll want to keep extra oil on hand for oil changes, along with transmission fluid and coolant. The coolant in your boat engine’s radiator helps to prevent overheating, while the transmission fluid and oil ensure that every part of your engine runs smoothly.

Spark Plugs & Fuses

Your boat uses spark plugs and fuses which will need to be replaced fairly often. Browse your owner’s manual to learn exactly what types of plugs and fuses you need to buy and be sure that you always have a couple extra on hand to make a quick replacement.

Light Bulbs

The bulbs in your boat’s various lights and signals will burn out, and if you don’t have working lights and signals when you’re out on the water, especially in the dark or in the fog, you’re putting yourself and others in danger. You’ll need to check each fixture to see what type of bulb it uses so that you can keep a few handy.
