CAUTION
!
Routine maintenance is the only practical way to keep the surface of
your boat looking shiny and new. Most objects left outdoors will gradu-
ally deteriorate from exposure to the sun, water, dust and pollution. Such
outdoor exposure can cause your boat’s gelcoated surface to change
or fade. Darker colors tend to fade more rapidly than lighter colors
because they absorb more of the sun’s rays (ultraviolet and infrared).
Basic maintenance includes monthly washing of the boat’s surface to
remove normal accumulation of soil and stain.
