GENERAL CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your boat may feature a variety of specialized
systems and components. The following basic
and typical information may not apply to your
specific application. This section may not cover
all systems or components on your boat. See the
Engine Operator’s Manual or the equipment
manufacturer’s information for maintenance
procedures.
Maintenance procedures may require special
knowledge and equipment. Always consult your
local marine dealer or certified marine technician
for assistance in performing service, maintenance
or modifications to your boat.
Neglect of maintenance and unauthorized service
work is not recommended and may void your
warranty. Refer to the Engine and Equipment
Manufacturer’s maintenance schedules and
requirements, and keep a detailed log of the
procedures and dates completed. Always consult
your local marine dealer for assistance with
periodic maintenance.
Before performing any general care and
maintenance procedures within this section, see
Safety on page 2-1 .
ENGINE
The manufacturer of your boat’s engine(s) will
provide a separate maintenance procedure. See
the
Engine Operator’s Manual for specific
information on maintenance procedures.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel vents are normally located in the deck in the
same general area as the fuel fills. Periodically
check that the fuel fills and vent lines are free of
obstructions and kinks.
Check and/or replace the fuel filter periodically or
clean as needed. Check fuel lines, vent hoses
and drain hoses frequently for leaks. Replace any
worn or cracked hoses.
Tightening a fitting or clamp may correct a fuel
leak. If the leak continues, however, replace the
line, fitting or hose immediately to prevent a
build-up of fluids or gases.
Use fuel system parts certified for marine use
only. Never use automotive parts in marine
applications.
