Platforms will keep the new look and last for many, many years if
properly maintained. For best results re-oil the platform and allow it
to dry before the first use. If the boat spends a lot of long weekends
on the lake with the swim platform in the water or if the platform sits
uncovered in the sun, it should be oiled one or two times a month
during the first season; then as needed after that. The platform

or odor caused by moisture.
