Be Prepared for the Show

 

To best enjoy your time at the boat show, you should wear breathable clothes and comfortable shoes. Sunscreen is a must to protect your face and skin from the rays of the sun. Sun glasses will also help by keeping your eyes shielded from the bright light of the sun.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Throughout the six locations, there will be plenty of food and drink vendors to ensure you are able to grab some food and stay energized throughout the day.

While you're at the boat show, there are lots of fun things to do! You might want to buy clothes or accessories, so make sure to plan for that ahead of time so you have a way of bringing your purchases home with you.

 

Outside of Show Hours

 

The most important skill needed to repair boat plumbing systems is the ability to read and understand diagrams, blueprints, and schematics. The diagram shows you where all of the parts are located and how they interact with one another, so it's essential that you can decipher this information.

You also need good mechanical skills, since you'll be working with tools and machinery on a regular basis. You may have to replace parts or make repairs using your hands, so being able to use tools effectively is essential.
