Default Re: Spring boat launch checklist

Wax the hull and rails.

Apply Rainex on all the glass.
New wipers if still old.

Spray on silicon based (not WD 40 ) on all O/B metal surfaces.
Put grease on trailer electrical connections on both sides.

Soak anchor line in fabric softener solution over night to make pliable.

Inspect all life jackets for visible fatigue or wear on material and especially the straps.

Check bilge pump float switch is free of surrounding junk and is smooth in movement.
