A: Regularly inspect the buoy's exterior for damage, cracks, or discoloration. Make sure the buoy's anchoring device is secure to prevent drift.
Use mild detergents and avoid strong acids or bases that can damage the buoy's material.
If the buoy has lights or electronic equipment, check the batteries regularly and replace them as needed. Regularly check ropes, anchors, and other accessories and replace them if necessary.
Record the date and content of each cleaning and maintenance so that the condition of the buoy can be regularly assessed.
