Standing at the rack is only one part of choosing a lifejacket.
With the jacket correctly secured, try sitting as you would aboard - follow its fitting instructions, keep the required straps fastened and ask about a suitable alternative if the fit feels awkward.

You want the right jacket for the wearer and the day ahead.

A lifejacket choice starts with the person wearing it, not the jacket hanging beside it. Here’s how to narrow the options and make a useful conversation with your local marine specialist. Start with the wearer You can put two lifejackets beside each other and see very different shapes. What you ca...

Family vote: which electronics job would make the biggest difference aboard?

The answers might be a clearer chart view, less menu hunting or information that's easier to read from their seat.

Bring the priorities to Family Boats before choosing the upgrade - our Boating & Outdoors connection gives you a range to investigate, with the family's actual use kept at the centre.

Four people aboard doesn't mean four interchangeable jackets.

Allocate a suitable lifejacket to each wearer before the outing.
Check the label and fit, rather than handing out whatever comes to the top of the pile.

If the family line-up has changed, bring the questions to our team - as part of Boating & Outdoors, we can help you start with the people who'll actually use the gear.

Would a shorter boat trip actually suit the family better this Labour Weekend?
There's no need to fill every available hour.
Pick a plan that suits the people aboard and check what the return will involve before deciding how far to go. Find out more in our blog – https://boatingandoutdoors.co.nz/planning-the-return-journey/

We're keen to hear families' preferences: a quick outing with everyone still cheerful, or a longer day when the crew is up for it?

A good departure plan includes the journey home. Before settling on a fishing spot or family destination, think about what the return will ask of your boat and crew. Start with the whole trip When you picture a boating day, it’s easy to picture the destination first. The bay you want to visit, the...

Your battery has one job at the ramp: do not make itself the centre of attention…

Check charge, terminals and cables, and if the battery condition is uncertain, have it properly tested - particularly if it has already seen several seasons.

The trailer gets you to the water. It deserves more than a quick kick of the tyres.

Check the tyres and sidewalls, make sure the spare is aboard and inflated, and confirm the jack and wheel brace you carry actually suit the trailer. It is a much easier exercise in the driveway than on the shoulder of the road.

Check out our 7 point check to ensure your trailer is set for the season - https://boatingandoutdoors.co.nz/boat-trailer-maintenance-nz/

If something needs attention or new parts, call in and see the team, part of the Boating & Outdoors dealer network.

We spend plenty of time thinking about what can go wrong on the water. Sometimes the trip comes unstuck before the boat reaches it. A boat trailer deals with heavy loads, long periods sitting still, highway speeds and regular saltwater immersion. Spring boat trailer maintenance is your chance to fin...
