Routine Care & Maintenance
Routine inspection, service and maintenance of
your boat, boat systems and components are vital to
assure your safety, as well as prolonging the life of
your boat. You should develop regular routines for
inspecting and servicing your boat.
The interval between necessary service or maintenance
is highly variable, depending on the environment in
which your boat will be used. For example, corrosion
of boat parts and components will occur far more
rapidly in a salt water environment than on a boat
which is used in fresh water.
This section provides
only
general guidelines
for the care and cleaning of your boat. It is
your
responsibility
to determine whether maintenance
and care intervals need to be accelerated due to your
boat usage and/or operating environment.
Hull
Fresh water, saltwater and water temperature can all
affect the types of growth that you will find on your
boat’s hull.
Any growth will affect the boat’s performance
and overall look. If it has been a while between
inspections you might notice algae or slime growth
on the hull. This can be cleaned with a coarse towel
or soft bristle brush. The growth should be cleaned
immediately after the boat has been removed from
the water. If the growth is allowed to dry it will be
much harder to remove.
Compounding may be necessary to remove more
stubborn stains and chalking from the surface of your
boat. If compounding is necessary it must be done
after a thorough washing and prior to waxing.
If the growth is more severe, you may need to
enlist the services of a professional hull cleaning
company.
Check with your Boston Whaler
®
dealer for
recommendations on a compatible rubbing compound
for your boat or a professional hull cleaning company
in your area.
Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are plants and
animals that occur in waters in which they are not
native and whose introduction causes or is likely to
cause economic or environmental damage or harm
to human health. AIS have a negative impact on the
waterway, its native species, and recreational and
commercial uses of the waterway.
As responsible boaters and citizens, each boat owner
should do their part to prevent the spread of these
aquatic hitchhikers. In many cases, it is also required
by law. Check local regulations for any waterway
where you will boat.
After each boating trip, follow these three simple
steps before you leave the water access to stop the
spread of AIS: Clean, Drain, and Dry. This is the
boater’s way to help protect the environment from
the damage that AIS can cause.
NOTICE
Refer to the individual manufacturers’ manuals
for important information regarding service,
care and maintenance of your boat, equipment
and components. Failure to do so may in some
cases void the warranty.
Owner’s Manuals for your boat and each of the
various components and equipment can be
found in your Owner’s Manual Packet.
When using solvents read all information from
the solvent manufacturer regarding safety and
handling of the material.
Wear proper protective equipment to ensure
your personal safety.
Only use solvents in a well ventilated area and
keep all solvents away from open flame and any
other forms of ignition.
