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.
