MAINTENANCE
Routine Care & Maintenance:
NOTE: Refer to the individual Manufacturer Owner ’ s
Manuals for detailed information related to Service,
Care, Maintenance and Repair of those specific
components.
Routine inspection and maintenance of your SEA PRO
boat and it ’ s systems ensures safe boating experiences and
prolongs the life of your boat and it ’ s systems.
The following information is for general guidelines only.
It is YOUR responsibility to determine maintenance and
care intervals based on your usage of the boat and the
operating environment. This information may not cover
all systems or additional components that have been
customized or installed by the dealer or owner.
•
Hull Exterior: Algae and Slime growth can affect
the performance and overall look. This growth
can be removed with a coarse towel or soft
bristle brush. If the growth is severe, or has been
allowed to dry and harden on the boat surfaces,
it may be necessary to seek the services of a
professional hull cleaning company. Refer to
your
SEA PRO BOATS authorized dealer for
assistance.
• Gel Coat: The gel coat will be protected and last
longer with regular cleaning and waxing. It is
recommended to wax your exterior surfaces at
least twice per year. Your usage and operating
environment may dictate additional waxing
intervals. Do not wax over growth or surface
dirt / debris, ensure your SEA PRO boat has been
thoroughly washed and rinsed prior to waxing.
Use a high quality was designed for marine gel
coats. Refer to your
SEA PRO BOATS authorized
dealer for suggested brands.
•
General Hull and Deck Surface Washing: Always
use a cleaning agent that is suggested for use on
marine gel coats. If using a pressure washer to
clean these surfaces, it is important that a Wide
Pattern nozzle is used, and the spry head is
continuously in motion. Do not concentrate high
pressure on a small area. A pinpoint nozzle or
concentrated stream could damage the finish and
surface of your boat.
SEA PRO BOATS does not
recommend pressure washing of the Helm and
Console. Damage could be done to the
electronics, gauges, and controls.
•
Stainless Steel Trim & Fittings: Even though
stainless steel is corrosion resistant, it still
requires care and maintenance. The presence of
salt particles can cause spots, pitting and
corrosion. Frequently wash and clean the
stainless steel trim and fittings with a mild soap
or solution suitable for use on stainless steel. A
coating of cleaning wax will help maintain the
finish and sheen. Apply with a clean, soft cloth,
allow to dry, then polish and buff with additional
clean, soft cloths. Never use abrasive cleaners,
abrasive pads, or strong solvents.
