Section 6 Maintenance
Cutwater & Chafe Plates
This option helps protect the fiberglass keel against
debris while underway and reduces the risk of possible
damage while beaching.
If the boat is equipped with an optional cutwater, inspect
the cutwater monthly for tears, large gaps, or other signs
of damage. Repair the tears or gaps as soon as they
appear to avoid collateral damage.
Clean away any debris and degrease the repair area
with denatured alcohol
Allow the denatured alcohol to air dry
Attach the cutwater to the hull using black Bostik
sealant
Similarly this boat may be equipped with optional transom
corner chafe plates. All chafe plates are powder coated
to give them a longer service life, but sometimes the
powder coat might be worn or chipped away. If the
powder coat gets chipped away, touch up the part with a
high quality, acrylic enamel.
