1️⃣ Check the Forecast

Before anything, peek at the weather and tides. A quick glance decides whether tomorrow’s offshore or a chill estuary day. I always make sure my yamaha outboard motors are ready — reliable power makes all the difference.

2️⃣ Walk Around the Boat

Take a torch and inspect everything:

Hull & bilge for leaks

Engine oil, belts, fuel lines

Electrics, battery, nav lights

Trailer: tyres, straps, lights

Safety gear, life jackets, first-aid kit

Running a wildrider boat? These checks are especially satisfying when it’s built for ease.

3️⃣ Stow Gear for Tomorrow

Friday nights are perfect for staging essentials:

Tackle boxes & lines

Cooler & snacks

Towels, hats, dry bags

The trick is to tie down anything loose so nothing bounces around overnight.

4️⃣ Clean & Reset

Quick rinse, clear clutter, empty rubbish, and dry the bilge. A tidy deck makes Saturday launch effortless.

5️⃣ Quick Checklist

Fuel level ✅ Keys ✅ Safety gear ✅ Trip-specific items ✅

A checklist = less stress, more anticipation for the morning.

6️⃣ Charge, Top Up, & Lock Down

Plug in batteries, double-check fuel, secure everything. If you’re thinking of upgrades, yamaha marine finance can make it easier to plan new additions.
