MAINTENANCE (continued) 

 
Inevitably you will get scratches on the gelcoat surfaces. 
 

 

Water sand minor scratches with #600 paper, then buff with polishing compound or equivalent. 

 
Scratches that penetrate to the fiberglass substrate should be dealt with immediately.  This is particularly important 
on scratches below the waterline.  Your dealer or other industry professional best handles these repairs. 
 
Whether operating in fresh or saltwater, marine growth is a problem.  It will  
degrade performance, fuel economy and in severe instances can damage the gelcoat surface. 
 

 

Use a high-grade anti-fouling bottom paint that conforms to the regulations for operation in your boating area. 

 

Regular running of the boat at high speed when appropriate will rid the bottom of light growth.  

 

Regular washing of the bottom surfaces is recommended. 

 

Other Exterior Components 
 
Windows and Hatches 
 

 

The clear surfaces of these components require the most attention.  Clean metal frames per the instructions below for 
stainless steel and aluminum.  
Rinse all acrylic surfaces with clean fresh water.  

DO NOT 

rub the surface in any way. Clean acrylic surfaces with 

mild detergent regularly (after rinsing). 
Rinse again and pat dry with a clean chamois or cotton towel.

 

Grease and adhesives may be removed with kerosene, hexane or white gas.  

DO NOT 

use any other solvents or 

removal agents.
