Good morning and thank you for all of your helpful responses . I posted a picture of my boat because I saw somewhere that it suggested that we do that so for context that’s a picture of my boat. The question I have is that over the winter beginning in January I’m taking a nighttime boat engine mechanics course in Boston. I’m not mechanical at all. I’ve never done anything really mechanical, but I’ve been on my boat all summer and I’m trying to learn and I’m curious about the engine and how everything works, specifically my 2020 Yamaha 250 V6 4.2 digital throttle engine. The issue is we will be taught on Mercury engines and not Yamaha . Do you think that I will gain anything from the Mercury engine repair to be able to use to try to help me keep my Yamaha 250 digital throttle in good shape or at least know the basics about it if something happens and I’m out in the ocean. Thx . Steve

After months of building, testing, designing, changing things, changing them again 😂 — the store is open and Dock Candy is officially taking orders. We launched with our Wash N Shine, Exterior High Gloss Ceramic Sealer, and the Clean + Shine Bundle, which includes a free premium microfiber towel. This is just the beginning. Clean Hard. Shine Harder. Own the Dock. DockCandy.co

Well… this just got real. 😂 Our first production run of Dock Candy is finished. The inventory has been picked up from our manufacturer and is headed to our fulfillment center in Lakeland. It should arrive Monday. Tuesday, we open the store. We've spent the last several weeks building the brand, the website, the content, the tracking, the fulfillment system—and probably making way too many jokes about boat owners who think rain counts as washing their boat. 😂 But next week is different. Real inventory. Real customers. Real orders. We're launching with our two-step boat care system: ⚓ Dock Candy Wash N Shine — Step 1 ✨ Dock Candy Exterior — High Gloss Ceramic Sealer 🔥 Dock Candy Clean + Shine Bundle — the complete system Before we officially open, I'll place the first order myself and run the entire process from checkout through fulfillment to make sure everything works exactly the way it should. Then we're live. And we're starting small on purpose. We'll test different ads, hooks and creative, track what actually produces sales, and build from there. For those of you who've been watching this get built from an idea into an actual product sitting in cases ready to ship: Thank you. Now we find out what happens when we put Dock Candy in front of boat owners. Tuesday. Let's go. ⚓🔥 Clean it. Shine it. Own the dock.

A great day in saltwater can leave plenty behind—salt, grime, water spots, sunscreen, footprints and everything else that comes aboard. We just published our first Dock Talk guide: How to Clean Your Boat After a Day in Saltwater It walks through a simple post-trip routine to rinse, wash, dry and protect your boat without turning every day on the water into an all-day detailing job. Rinse. Wash. Rinse. Dry. Protect. What’s your routine when you get back to the dock—do you clean the boat immediately, or is that tomorrow’s problem? 😂 👇 Read the full guide here: How To Clean Your Boat After Salt Water Clean Hard. Shine Harder.™
