Options
Brunswick Commercial & Government Products
(BCGP) designs, engineers, and manufactures each
boat for your specific mission. We add extra Phenolic
plate, aluminum plate, and fiberglass material during
the molding process to reinforce attachment points for
the various options. For this reason, many options
cannot be added after the boat leaves the factory. If
you want to add options or accessories to the boat,
you must contact Brunswick Commercial & Govern-
ment Products Customer Service Department in the
United States at 386-423-2900, for advice.
Hull Maintenance
Regularly scheduled maintenance will help keep your
boat mission-ready and help protect it from deteriora-
tion caused by its working environment. Your experi-
ence with your particular working environment will help
determine the appropriate time intervals between sig-
nificant system inspections.
Washing
Exterior and interior laminated fiberglass parts and all
metal parts should be washed frequently using fresh
water, a mild soap, and clean cloths or a sponge. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, steel or
bronze wool, or alkaline cleaners to clean your boat.
After washing, rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Dry
the boat to prevent water spots from forming on the
hull and powder-coated hardware.
!
WARNING
Installing certain options and accessories on
the hull and deck can lead to structural failure
or boat instability. Improper installations can
cause property damage and serious injury.
Improper installations might void portions of
your hull warranty.
