YOUR BOAT’S FINISH…
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
The gel-coat (color) used on your Ranger
®
Boat is of the highest
quality ava i l a ble today. To keep it looking new and in good condition
these tips will prove helpful.
A light duty rubbing compound (available at most auto parts stores) is
recommended for stains such as mold, water lines on the hull, fine
scratches on finish or just to bring back that “look new” shine.
Automotive wax or polish is good for preserving the shine and building
an “armor coat” to prevent scratches and will also help protect hull
while in wet storage.
A boat cover (which is available from your Ranger dealer) is also a
wise investment to help prevent damage while the boat is at home or
on the road.
Careful as you may be, you will get that scratch from the dock or
beach that will need some attention. Most Ranger dealers are equipped
to do fiberglass repair, and large jobs are better left to the ex p e rt s.
H oweve r, minor scra t c h e s, chips, and gouges may be repaired by
you.These instructions are to repair solid color gel-coat only, not
p o l i f l a ke :
1 . Using masking tape, tape around damaged area slightly larger than
actual flaw, keeping area to be repaired as small as possibl e.
2 . R e m ove any damaged glass or gel-coat. Sand damaged area and all
s u r face inside tape, enough to rough up area and remove shine,
using #220 grit dry sand paper.
3 . Wash area with a solvent such as acetone and allow to dry.

Do not use acids or other strong chemicals
