FREE ADVICE:
Use your boat. Don't let it sit.
Once a year, wipe some silicone grease on porthole gaskets and snaps.
If your A/C ices up, check the water flow, close any open doors or windows and turn the heat up.
Avoid getting wax or cleaning products on the A/C control pad sensor.
Normally leave A/C fan on automatic.
Peroxide will eliminate mold in condensation overflow trays.
Bleach mixed with water cleans shower sumps. Pour it down drains. Let it sit for 20 minutes, and then run two or three gallons of fresh water through the system.
If it hasn't gone in your mouth, it shouldn't go in the toilet.
Use marine toilet paper.
Use manufacturers' recommended toilet treatments and cleaners.
