Plan for spills-keep absorbant material at hand.
Vessel Maintenance
Choose phosphate- free, biological and non toxic
cleaners.
Try and do major cleaning and maintenance tasks when boat
is out of water.
Use drop clothes when sanding and scraping-collect
paint chips, dust, and other residue and dispose of

Use alternative cleaners. Baking soda, lemon juice and vinegar can all perform as well as commercial cleaning products without the harmful byproducts.
Use environmentally safe anti-fouling paints and follow
manufacturer's instructions.
Recycle used zincs.
Dispose of drained oil and any spent or spilled coolant at appropriate recycling centers when performing
