Stay Safe on the Water This 4th of July - Boating Safety Tips

Image
A lot of traveling happens over a holiday. Around our Southern Missouri Powersports & marine dealership in Lebanon , that traveling happens both on the road and on the water.  Last week we shared some motorcycle safety tips to keep in mind over the 4th of July. (Most of those tips work equally well for car trips!) Today LSK Lebanon is focusing our safety tips at all of you getting out on the lake over the holiday.  Don't Drink & Drive This is an obvious safety tip but, just like we said last week, one worth a reminder.

Stay alert, maintain a safe speed on the water, and learn about the boat you wi...

If it was put away in good condition, it should work just fine. Still, it's a good idea to double-check before heading out on the water. Check the Fluids Hopefully, you took care to put your boat away last winter with its fluids in good condition, including adding a fuel stabilizer. Before your first outing, make sure all of your fluid levels (oil, gas, coolant, etc...) are where they should be. If you are worried about anything leaking, be sure to have a professional take a look. Check the Bilge Pump Rain and melted...
