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.
Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle
brush and a solution of soap and water.
Safety Standards
Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety stan-
dards in effect at the time it was constructed. Some of these standards were man-
dated by law. All of them were designed to insure your safety, and the safety of
other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this supplement, read the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual, warning labels,
and all literature in your owner’s packet for important safety standards and hazard
information.
NOT ICE
To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on
moored boats, apply an epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. Cover the barrier coating with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints. Ask your local
dealer about the laws in effect in your area.
DANG ER
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD! DO NOT allow anyone to ride on
parts of the boat not designated for such use.
Sitting on seat backs, lounging on the forward deck, bow riding, gunwale riding
or occupying the transom platform or the aft sunlounge cushions while under-
way is especially hazardous and WILL cause personal injury or death.
