14.2 Exterior
14.2.1 Care and Maintenance During Summer
Months
Before storing your boat, remove loose items such as
cushions, towels, and similar items. Water trapped under
these items can cause gelcoat discoloration and mildew.
After each use, rinse the entire boat with fresh water. If
the boat has been used in brackish or salt water, use a
mild soap during the washdown.
Covering your boat between uses will protect the finish
from direct sunlight. Do not cover it with anything that
will not allow moisture to evaporate, for example, sheet
plastic.
14.2.2 Finish Protection
Waxing two or four times a year is recommended. If you
are in a climate where you use your boat year round, wax
your boat every three months. If you have a summer
boating season, wax at the beginning of the season and
before winter storage.
