As the seasons shift and the waters calm, it is time to give your beloved vessel the tender love and care it deserves. Our newly launched store serves as your go-to harbor for all things marine, and today, we have some stellar end-of-season recommendations just for you.
The Essentials for Safe Docking:
The waters along the Parker Strip and Lake Havasu are filled with adrenaline seeking boaters looking to achieve a personal best and thrill their friends and family. Whether moored at a dock or tied up side by side, these turbulent waters place plenty of strain on your dockside hardware. Add in the typical seasonal desert winds and you may find bent cleats, worn dock lines and plenty of items that should be replaced to ensure your next outing is safe and your boat secure. Below are a few common docking items you should consider replacing…
1) Rope & Anchor Lines:
Have you ever experienced the heart-stopping moment when a rope fails you right when you need it the most? Fear not; we are here to support you. Explore our robust selection of ropes and anchor lines, meticulously designed to withstand any storm that may come your way. Replace them today and ensure safety when you take your boat out next.
2) Fenders:
Boats aren’t cheap and neither is fiberglass repair. Your fenders get a workout all season and may be torn or lost. Shield your cherished boat from unexpected bumps and bruises by replacing or upgrading your fenders today. Discover our vast selection online today, specially crafted to take on whatever obstacles the seas may throw at them.
3) Cleats:
We are all acquainted with the sound of a cleat giving way in the howling wind. Bid farewell to those worn-out cleats and replace them with sturdy alternatives available in our online store. Annual maintenance and repair of your boat and dockside cleats will give you peace of mind and ensure a good nights sleep. This is priceless!!
4) Bimini Top Fittings:
Your Bimini may be the most important accessory for all desert boaters. With Summer temperatures reaching the mid 120’s, a bit of shade makes all the difference between a fun day on the water with friends and a few days moisturizing with Aloe. Keeping your bimini and hardware in top shape ensures you’ll have this shade and your bimini can withstand common wind gusts and cruising home at high speeds. But worry not, as we offer replacements to keep you covered and protected against the elements. Shop bimini parts online and if you need a full replacement, reach out to our service professionals for a quote.
Preparing for Winter: Maintenance & Storage:
Although Winter season along the Colorado River from Parker, AZ to Laughlin, NV still provides plenty of ideal weather for boating, many will diversify their pleasures and enjoy the cooler land temperatures by racing through the desert in a SXS or taking some swings at a local golf course. You’ll return to your boat but a bit less frequently than during the Summer. Proper care and maintenance will make sure your boat and other water today are clean and ready when the waters call you. The Online Store at River Sports RV & Marine offers hundreds of items to help you achieve this and we’ve curated a few popular options below…
5) Cleaning Supplies:
Winter may be fast approaching, but before it arrives, ensure your boat gleams with cleanliness. Dive into our array of cleaning supplies, guaranteeing a sparkling vessel ready for any journey.
6) Marine Safety Equipment:
Safety must always come first and now is the time to make sure all of your safety equipment is ready for the rescue! Replace, replenish, and refresh your safety gear with our essential options, providing you with peace of mind during your winter adventures.
Are You are Really Storing Your Boat???
Although Fall and Winter in the Southwest provides some of the most ideal weather to take your boat on the lakes and rivers, it’s also Holiday Season and many will travel to celebrate with friends and family. We understand and want your boat safe and ready when you return so our online store includes hundreds or products to make sure you trailer and winterize your boat safely.
