ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE ON BOARD OTHER THAN THE DRIVER TO WATCH

THE SKIER.

Proper care helps assure that your boat will continue to look like new after years of service.  We 

recommend that maintenance and repairs be performed by your Azure dealer or a Marine Service 

center.  However, some boat owners may prefer to take care of routine maintenance and repairs 

themselves.  For those owners, this section includes general information and basic procedures.  For 

additional information read the engine and other component manuals included in your ownerʼs 

packet and refer to the NMMA manual.
When your boat is not in use, protect it from the harsh elements by storing it inside, under a roof, 

with a mooring cover or cockpit cover installed.  Do not dock or store your boat under trees.  Dirt, 

leaves and other debris will accumulate on the boat and can damage carpet and furniture vinyl sur-

faces. Please check with your dealer before beginning any maintenance or repair if you are not sure 

about the proper tools and supplies that are recommended.  Also, always refer to the manufacturersʼ 

manuals for detailed maintenance and repair procedures.  If any information conflicts with informa-

tion stated in the manufacturersʼ manuals, those manuals must take precedence.  Also, some informa-

tion in this section may not pertain to all Azure products and some items may be optional equipment.

ENGINE

Refer to the engine ownerʼs manual for recommended information about engine care and mainte-

nance.  If you have operated the boat in shallow or salt water, flush the engine with fresh water after 

each use. Always winterize your engine to avoid damage that can occur during freezing weather.  

Read your engines ownerʼs manual for complete details.

EXTERIOR FIBERGLASS FINISH
Maintenance

Normal exterior finish maintenance of your Azure boat is similar to the care you would give to your 

automobile. Do not use caustic, highly alkaline cleaners or those containing ammonia. These clean-

ing agents may darken gelcoat. The resulting stain is a chemical reaction and can only be removed 

with rubbing compound followed by waxing.

! DANGER !

When engine is running, boarding ladder and swim platform must not be used.

DO NOT ENTER THE WATER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

! WARNING !

Keep a downed skier in sight constantly.

! WARNING !

Your boat is not designed for and should not be used for pulling parasails, kites, gliders, or 

any device which can become airborne.

! WARNING !

Never back up to anyone in the water.
