Just use face grease! Love it!

[@boatus]

It's easy, cheap, and often plentiful! 😂 Thanks for watching, Robert.

I clean then polish any Lexan (plexiglass) with “Plexus” spray.

[@boatus]

Thanks for sharing your tip, Maleko!

Instead of spending your life savings on snap lubricant or snap stick. Used chapstick!

[@boatus]

Great tip, Dave! Who doesn't have a few wayward tubes of lip balm rolling around? I'd make sure to wipe off any excess so it doesn't attract dirt. Of the commercial products available, one of our faves is Snappi because you can use it remove any existing dirt or corrosion before adding the lubricant.

Replaced fuses even if they look good

[@boatus]

Great one, Aaron! And keep spare fuses aboard. Thanks for watching!

Why would anyone buy a boat with all that Sea-Tex. Going to look like crap after a few years in the sun.

[@boatus]

Not sure if it matters or not, Dan, but this is not Sea-Dek (which is what I think you meant). It's reFlex, which is different. We've heard some good things about this product. With the number of hours Lenny spends aboard his boat every year, having that extra cushion goes a long way toward keeping him and his guests more comfortable and secure no matter where they're fishing from. It absorbs shock, helps reduce fatigue, and offers better grip on deck when things get wet or bloody from reeling in the fish. Plus, it has the added benefit of absorbing sounds abovedecks to avoid scaring away the fish. And it is easier to clean than nonskid. While it might not be the solution for everyone, Lenny's quite happy with it so far.
