The boat has been constructed with various metal components, all of which require special attention
during routine care. Decomposition occurs, resulting in rust, and it is accelerated when the boat is
operated in salt water.
Damage that occurs to the boat as result of corrosion is not
covered under the warranty!
While Axis uses quality metal components chosen for their durability
as well as attractive appearance, all metal eventually reacts to exposure
to water. Therefore, part of the care and maintenance of metal
requirement is to ensure that it is kept clean and dry. After an outing,
rinse the metal pieces as well as the rest of the boat, allowing, at
minimum, a thorough air drying. To avoid spotting and discoloring, drying
with a soft rag or towel will keep the new-boat look for many seasons to
come. It is also wise to wash all metal components when you wash your
boat as this will help prevent moisture from affecting the surface.
When boating in brackish or salt water, the post-outing cleaning is
highly critical for the protection of the finishes. Corrosion potential means
that boats operating in this type of condition must be equipped with self-
sacrificing zinc anodes. These anodes are attached in several locations,
including the transom, driveshaft and rudder. (Check with your authorized
Axis dealer to be certain that you are aware of all locations of these
anodes as they will require periodic replacement.) The anodes serve to
significantly reduce the potential for corrosive damage to the permanent
metal components on the boat.
Boats operated routinely in salt water should also be equipped with
a closed cooling system to protect and extend the life of the engine. See
the engine owner’s manual for more information regarding this important
topic.
If the boat owner begins to notice rust or deterioration of metal
components, even when operated regularly in fresh water, this should be brought to the attention of the
authorized Axis dealer. In some instances, it is necessary to attach self-sacrificing zinc anodes, even when
operated in fresh water. Be safe, rather than sorry!
Axis uses only marine-rated and marine-grade fasteners on all
models. If, at any time, it is necessary to replace any fasteners,
seek guidance from an authorized Axis dealer to ensure that
such replacements meet the requirements for operation in a
marine environment.
