LS 265

93

If you leave the boat for a long period of time, put all cushions on their sides, open all interior cabin and locker
doors and hang a commercially available mildew protector in the cabin.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY ON MILDEW PROTECTORS. REMOVE THE
PROTECTOR AND ALLOW THE CABIN TO VENTILATE COMPLETELY BEFORE USING
THE CABIN.

11.5 Bilge

To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow the directions carefully.
All exposed pumps and metal components should be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the
corrosive effects of the high humidity always present in these areas.
