9.0 Maintenance
The Q-Boat 1800 is designed to be easy to maintain.
1.
To prolong the life of the ABS hull and finish, wash with mild soap and water after each use.
2.
Lubricate the steering ball joints with “3-in-1” or equivalent oil and regularly check the
tightness of all bolts and connectors. (See figures 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3)
3.
Check the deck lid gasket for cuts, cracks or deformation. This gasket seals the
instrumentation area from water intrusion and should be checked frequently.
