Routine Maintenance
Counter Tops - Corian Surfaces
A mild liquid detergent and water or ammonia-
based cleaners will remove most dirt and stains
from Corian. For heavy cleaning, oil and grease,
use Fantastik spray cleaner. Rinse with a clean
cloth moistened with fresh water. Wipe dry with
a clean cloth.
In most cases, Corian can be repaired if acciden-
tally damaged. Minor damage, including scratches,
general or chemical stains, scorches or burns and
minor impact marks, can be repaired with a light
abrasive cleanser and a Scotch-Brite® pad. For
heavier damage, light sanding and machine buff-
ing may be necessary so contact your dealer or
a professional.
• Avoid exposing Corian to strong chemicals,
such as paint removers, oven cleaners, etc. If
contact occurs, quickly flush the surface with
water.
• Remove nail polish with a non acetone-based
polish remover and flush with water.
• Do not cut directly on Corian counter tops.
12.4 Bilge, Pumps & Components
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, it is recom-
mended that you use a commercial bilge cleaner
on a regular basis. Follow the directions carefully.
All exposed pumps and metal components in the
bilge should be sprayed periodically with a pro-
tector to reduce the corrosive effects of the high
humidity always present in these areas.
Periodically check the bilge pumps for proper op-
eration and clean debris from the strainers and
float switches. Inspect all hoses, clamps and thru-
hulls for leaks and tightness on a regular basis.
Operate all thru-hull valves at least once a month
to keep them operating properly.
Frequently test the automatic switches for the
bilge pumps for proper operation. This is accom-
plished by lifting the float switch until the pump
is activated. You can also use a garden hose to
flood the bilge until the water level is high enough
to activate the pump.
12.5 Drainage System
It is essential that the following items be done
periodically to maintain proper drainage of your
boat:
• Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to remove
debris that can block water drainage.
• Clean the hardtop or tower leg drain holes.
This is especially important just before winter
lay-up.
• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water to keep
them clean and free flowing.
• Operate the thru-hull valves once a month and
service as required.
• Run all overboard pumps briefly at least once
a month to keep them operating properly.
Notice:
All drains and pumps must be properly win -
terized before winter lay-up.
