The battery should be removed from the boat.
Remove the negative (-) cable first, then the positive
(+) cable and the battery given a full charge. Clean
the external surface of the battery and check all water
levels before and after charging. Grease both
terminals and bolts on the cable ends.
If you will be storing the boat for an extended amount
of time on its trailer, you will need to lift the trailer
off of its wheels. Use care when raising the trailer.
The surface should be level and conditioned to accept
the weight of the boat and trailer and allow for
adequate drainage. Covering the wheels will protect
them from harmful UV rays. Repeatedly immersing
the trailer in water during boat launching can cause
a variety of problems. Water seeping into the wheel
hubs will cause the grease to emulsify and can
prematurely corrode the bearings. Check with the
trailer manufacturer for scheduled maintenence of
you trailer.
Trailer Storage
It is important to raise the bow of the boat enough to
allow for proper drainage of water from the deck
and bilge area. Make sure all the drainage fittings
are clear and free of debris. Store the engine in an
upright position to promote adequate drainage of
water.

Canvas Care & Maintenance
Chafing, fiber wear from dirt and grit and deterioration
from ultraviolet light can cause your canvas sun top and
covers to degrade over time. The effects of ultraviolet
light can sometimes be reduced by chemical treatment
of canvas items. Consult your Boston Whaler® dealer
or check with your owner’s manual before using any
chemical treatments on your canvas. To keep the canvas
and metal parts in good working condition and keep a
good appearance, you will need to keep them clean.
The fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances
such as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to accumulate on
and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be
cleaned without removing the framework.
Simply brush off any loose dirt, pollen, etc. hose down
and clean with a mild solution of a natural soap in
lukewarm water (no more than 100 ° F. 38° C.). Rinse
thoroughly to remove soap. Allow the canvas to
completely air-dry. After each use especially in salt water
areas, rinse the canvas completely with fresh cold water.
Let the canvas dry completely before stowing. All metal
components of the canvas frame should be rinsed with
fresh cold water and exposed components wiped dry to
maintain appearance and working order.
NEVER trailer the boat with the sun-top in the
open position. Damage to the frame, canvas and
securing straps can occur. Use the protective
boot when the sun-top is being trailered or
stored.
