By MSW -

Who doesn't love boating? It can be such a stress reliever and who doesn't need more of that these days? Life is too short to not live it up! Our boat lift remote controls company is here to tell you about 5 items that can make your boating even more fun, in this week's blog. If you'd like to get out on the water faster and get to having fun even quicker, give us a call today. A Firstmate Controls boat lift remote control system can make that possible!



5 Items That Can Make Boating Even MORE Fun!


1. INVEST IN A NEW WATER TOY, LIKE A WAKEBOARD!

Wakeboarding definitely takes practice to ride like a pro.  With enough practice before you know if you will be doing a 360 and jumping the wakes while throwing down some tricks.  Buying a wakeboard takes a little research.  You want to make sure you get the right size for the rider to wakeboard comfortably.  


2. INVEST IN A NEW BOAT LIFT REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM.

Stop wasting precious time mooring and waiting around for the lift to lower. With a Firstmate boat lift remote control system, you can get your boat in or out in no time and continue entertaining your friends with little work to prep or dock. More time on the lake, less time working to get there!


3. TRY A BOARDING RAMP FOR CONVENIENCE.

The quickest way to ruin a day out on the lake is by someone falling between boat and dock and twisting an ankle while trying to get on the boat. Avoid injuries this year. Get a boarding ramp to ensure you and your guests can safely board and unboard your boat with ease.


4. WHO DOESN'T LOVE TUBING?

It's not a day on the lake unless you take the kids tubing.  Everyone enjoys a little adventure!  Whether you prefer fast and furious or leisure water activities, there are plenty of towables out there to satisfy anyone's adventurous appetite.  Tubes of all shapes and sizes are available, you can purchase a 1 person tube or a 5 person tube.  Choose from a tube that you sit on, lay on, or they now have some enclosed tubes.   You are sure to see many smiles from riders to the guests on your boat as you fly through the water.  Always remember safety while tubing!  Every rider is required to have a life vest and once they fall in the water make sure you display a skier flag.  


5. HAVE YOU HEARD OF WAKE SURFING YET?

Wake Surfing allows you to enjoy riding the wave like you are visiting the ocean.  With the excitement of wake surfing, there are many boards you can choose from.  They have boards for all ages and expertise.  We see surfers from the age of 2 up to adults in the 60's.  The sport is a little easier on your body than wakeboarding and it exploded as a great way to spend a day on the water.

  The weather outside might be frightful, but this is the perfect time to get prepared for next year's boating season! Have you found yourself daydreaming or spending time staring out at the water reminiscing about the great times you had on the water this past season?  Firstmate Controls understands your frustration. We want to share some great ideas to occupy your time during these cold winter months that will get you excited and ready for next year's boating season! Inspect Your Life Preservers Lifejackets that don't get used much and spend most of their time tucked away in the wells of your boat may not be in as good of shape as they should be. Even though they might not get used that often, they still need to be in top shape if there were an incident that arises that you will need to use a lifejacket. If yours aren't in good condition they're not going to be much help in saving a life. Take time to visually inspect every lifejacket for rips, tears, holes, etc.

  Whether you are new to the boating life, or an experienced boater, the need for a good understanding of boating terminology is a vital necessity. Knowing how your boat works, the function of each part of the vessel, how to address issues when they arise, and a basic understanding of boating safety  is knowledge every boat owner should have.  Being able to properly communicate with those on your boat in case of an emergency situation is crucial to the safety of everyone on board. In the event that you need to call for help, knowing common boat terms will come in handy when speaking with dock staff and even the coast guard when the need arises. Firstmate Controls knows the importance of boating safety and would like to share with you some common boating terms every boat owner should know.
