Removing dirt, salt, and mildew before sealing is the most critical step. A dedicated teak cleaner and brightener restores the wood's natural tone so the finish bonds properly.
Quick Answer
Teak on a ski boat stays beautiful with regular cleaning, light sanding, and a quality teak oil or sealer applied every season. Start by scrubbing the wood along the grain using a stiff brush to remove dirt, salt, and mildew. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely before applying any finish. A stainless steel scrub set designed for teak decks makes the cleaning process faster and protects the wood grain. Reapply teak oil or sealant every few months to prevent drying, cracking, and graying from sun and water exposure.
Maintaining teak wood on the back of a ski boat can be challenging. Traditional hardwood oils wash out after one trip in the water. Better Boat has created a three-step system to maintain teak and other hardwoods. Check out the video above to learn more.
