Bravada Can Help with Maintaining a Houseboat from Compass North Industries

Sept. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Maintaining a houseboat presents a unique set of challenges, but it is not as difficult as you might think. Having a boat expert like Compass North Industries, the manufacturers of Bravada (http://bravadayachts.com/) Yachts, on call can make regular check ups and preventative maintenance much easier. Here are some of the common problems that can occur on houseboats.

Hull Damage

No matter the material your houseboat is made out of, it is susceptible to hull wear and tear. Hulls need to be checked for damage regularly, and repairs need to be made as quickly as possible to prevent problems from becoming worse.

Leaks in Through Holes

Through holes are the portals that allow water to enter and exit the boat, such as toilet and sink supplies. These holes are especially prone to springing leaks, so they need to be checked and serviced regularly.

Bilge Pump Malfunctions

Bilge pumps are responsible for pumping water out of the houseboat in the event of a leak. These pumps are important to keep in good working order because you never know when you will need one. Check pumps for clogs, corrosion, and damaged switches.

Battery Problems

Make sure your houseboat has the right number of batteries and the correct type. Insufficient battery power can cause a shortage of electricity on the boat, or a short circuit that can cause a fire.

For help maintaining a houseboat, call Bravada Yachts to schedule an inspection or consultation.
