8.4 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch assemblies with
a light oil.
• Periodically clean and coat gasket materials with silicone
to help keep them pliable.
• The opening cabin deck hatches are made of acrylic
plastic glass. Acrylic glass scratches easily. Never use
a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic glass
. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine
cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia
can permanently damage acrylic glass. Please refer to the
Routine Maintenance chapter for more information on the
proper maintenance for acrylic plastic glass.
•
Periodic inspection and cleaning of the engine compartment
ventilation ducts is necessary to ensure adequate air
circulation. A buildup of leaves, twigs, or other debris
can severely reduce ventilation. It also is important to be
sure that the drains in the vent baffles are open to prevent
excessive sea water from accumulating in the vents and
overflowing into the engine compartment.
• The bilge blowers are permanently lubricated and require
no maintenance. Blower operation can and should be
tested by placing a hand over the exhaust vents. Do not
rely on the sound of the blowers. A substantial amount of
air should be exhausted by the blower. Frequently check
the intake vents for obstructions, preferably before each
cruise.
Note: Should blower noise become excessive, the source
of the noise should be found and corrected before
operating the boat.
