Family 4 Advice

Post by markhollands »

Hi

I am new to this and only just purchased my first Boat, she is a lovely 3 year old Family 4, some advice would be good if anyone can help at all

The canopy is sagging in the middle which means water "Pools" in it, any idea on a rectification for this, is it a new canopy, ouch they are expensive ?

Secondly any recommendations on what needs to be done to "Winterize" the boat with regards to outboard etc its a 25HP outboard Mariner.

Apart from that what a great boat and glad there is a nice community like this to get advice from.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I have the same issue, a telescopic pole with a c-clip at both ends was the cure. Oddly, when I googled that to post a link for you I'm just getting Australian websites, anyway, try a camping shop or somewhere that sells awnings.

This is the sort of thing, used in between the two hoops:
