Rendezvous Owner’s Manual Supplement
Special Care For Moored Boats
If moored in saltwater or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its
hull bottom. This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance
and may damage the gelcoat. There are two methods of slowing marine growth:
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle
brush and a solution of soap and water.
• Paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
Hazard Boxes & Symbols
The hazard boxes and symbols shown below are used throughout this supplement
to call attention to potentially dangerous situations which could lead to either per-
sonal injury, death or product damage. We urge you to read all hazard warn-
ings carefully and follow all safety recommendations.
N OT I C E
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on
moored boats, we recommend the application of an epoxy barrier coating, such
as Interlux, Interprotect 2000E/2001E. The barrier coating should be covered
with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet
environmental standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended
bottom paints, and about the laws in effect in your area.
