Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
MAINTENANCE (EXTERIOR)
The most important maintenance especially for salt water
environments is to spray off the outside casting with fresh
water along with the chain, thimble and shackle parts. Also,
make sure you spray off the gypsy area where the chain
travels through. This prevents damaging corrosion build up.
The manufacturer recommends that the gypsy and drum
be disassembled at least once a year cleaned and lubricated
as needed. Spray external parts with CRC or WD40.
Make sure the gear housing is not leaking oil. Fill as needed
with SAE 90 weight gear oil. Replace any leaking seals.
Check all solenoids terminals for tightness. These parts
may be located behind the salon television set rear panel or
under the forward deck locker in a protective box or in the
DC distribution center. Refer to the windlass maintenance
manual for more information.
WINDLASS
SPOTLIGHT
The spotlight lens should be wiped with a clean, dry soft
cloth to remove any debris such as bugs, salt spray or
general dirt. Read the manufacturer’s literature for more
information.
DECK HARDWARE
Inspect all mounted hardware often for tightness and
deteriorated fasteners. Pay extra close attention to cleats
and eyes since they are often under huge loads
TRIM TABS
Trim refers to the running angle of the boat while underway
to achieve the most efficient planning angle. Check all
electrical connections for tightness, corrosion, and chafing.
All mechanical trim tab components should be checked
periodically. If a malfunctioning tab is suspected, run each
tab in and out while someone looks at each tab to make
sure it is moving up and down the proper distance. Replace
zinc anodes when at one half their life as determined by
size. Check anodes twice a month.
Check the fluid in the hydraulic power unit (HPU) to make
sure it is at the proper level. The pump is located in the
bilge close to the transom. To refill, remove the lexan cover
and filler plug. Fill with any type automatic transmission
fluid (ATF). The fluid level should be 2” from the reservoir
bottom.
The trim tabs may be painted for corrosion protection. Do
not paint the anodes. Refer to the owner’s document box
for more information.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
The fire extinguisher system canister located in the sump
should be checked to make sure the hold down brackets are
tight. The canister features a gauge that displays the level of
agent left. The gauge should show a level in the green area.
Any reading in the red area needs immediate attention or
replacement. The dash monitor switch should show a green
light indicating all systems are in the correct operation.
PREVENT BODILY INJURY!
REMOVE THE CHAIN FROM WINDLASS
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
COCKPIT CARPET
Avoid cleaning carpet with harsh liquids or abrasives. Clean
carpet stains with a well recognized product such as Resolve.
Test an area before using the product. Follow the directions
on the label. Use a terry towel in combination with the cleaner
to remove stains. Avoid over wetting the carpet. When storing
cockpit carpet make sure that it is completely dry and then roll
each piece rather than fold it.
