Teak Care

Post by Dan B »

Purchased some teak accessories for down below - want to limit maintenance, yet keep them looking new. I haven't read good things about teak oil - wondering if anyone has recommendations on sealants or varnishes.

My last boat had teak and I used oil down below on it. Since it is out of the weather, this worked out fine - really no maintenance at all.

Inside, agree, oil it and it should be fine for a long time.

Our powerboat had a teak cover. used a cleaner and oil every year or 2 and it looks as good today as it did in 91
