12.2 Hull
• Wax the entire boat. The hull will maintain its factory delivered luster much longer if waxed at least
once a season. The inside of the boat, which is subject to the sun’s direct rays, will also respond well to
a good coat of marine wax.
DO NOT wax the non-skid surfaces.
•
Remove the hull plug so the sump area can breathe.
12.3 Storage
• It is best to store the boat inside, however if inside storage is not available, use the following
guidelines in order of preference
• Under awning with no boat cover
• Outside under a boat cover. (Boat cover should allow ample ventilation and be removed periodically to
allow moisture to dissipate avoiding mildew growth and staining.
12.4 Trailer
• Check the wheel bearings for water. Clean and repack/replace as necessary.
• Check the tires for proper inflation.
• Try to store the boat and trailer with the bow slightly elevated so it will drain.
• If possible, cover the boat so that the sun will not deteriorate and tree sap and other environmental
hazards will not damage the deck or upholstery. If covered, make sure to let air circulate so mildew will
not build up. If in a high snow or rain area, make sure to properly support the cover to sustain and
shed the load.
