11. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BOAT
Your boat represents a sizable capital investment that needs special and regular
care Safeguarding your investment and looking after your own safety should
persuade you of the importance of careful and regular upkeep of your boat. The
maintenance suggestions in the following sections will help you with the basics.
Always refer to the original manufacturer's manual for specific guidelines on
individual components.
NOTE: It is important to clean the bottom of your boat at least two or
three times a year.
General Hull Maintenance

We believe the above points to be pertinent for all FRP boats.
11.1. GEL COAT
The gel-coat is vulnerable to any dents and scratches it may get during
maneuvering in harbor and on a mooring. The best way to avoid them is to
undertake maneuvering calmly, after thinking out all the relevant factors (such as
speed, current, wind, and the layout of the harbor). Always have one of the crew
ready to put out a fender at the right place. When bringing in the anchor chain,
back off or swing the boat round so as not to rub the chain against the hull. Hold
the anchor well clear as you bring it aboard so that it does not scrape the stem: lay
it on deck and lash it down at once, if only temporarily.
Never use dirty fenders.
Hose off the hull and deck as often as possible, with fresh water.
Before hosing down, remember to check that the hatch covers are not in the
ventilating position; and it is wise not to take on diesel oil or fresh water supplies
while you are hosing off the hull.
