Plexiglass
The shower door, mirrored face of the head medicine cabinets, and
other areas of your boat are made of plexiglass. Clean plexiglass
with a solution of fresh water and mild liquid detergent. Remove any
fine scratches with a fine automotive acrylic rubbing and polishing
compound.
Do not use glass cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or aromatic
solvents on plexiglass. Doing so etches the plexiglass.
Mechanical Systems
The following paragraphs explain how to maintain your boat’s
propulsion, electrical, fresh water, bilge and sanitation systems.
Engines/Generator
Refer to the engine and generator OEM information for instructions
on maintaining your boat’s engines and generator. There may be a
seawater strainer installed in the water intake lines for each engine
and the generator. At least once every 30 days, close the seawater
seacocks, then open and clean the strainers. If you are operating the
boat in dirty waters or areas with a high degree of aquatic vegetation,
inspect the strainers more frequently. A clogged strainer restricts
the intake of seawater which can cause the affected engine or the
generator to overheat.
Thru-Hull valves
Inspect the thru-hull valves on a monthly basis. Make sure the
connections between the hose and the valve are tight. Look for water
leaks around the area where the valve and hull meet. Every 30 days
open and close each valve two or three times. This guards against the
valve seizing in the open or closed position. While doing this make
sure the valve handle is securely fastened. Tighten any loose handles.
Refer to Section 9 - Thru-Hull Fittings for the location of the thru-hull
valves.
Propeller Shaft Seals
The propeller shaft extends through a watertight fitting called a shaft
seal. Check the shaft seal every month; if the seal is leaking, contact
your Carver Dealer.
Make sure the engines are OFF before inspecting the propeller
shaft seals. The engine room contains moving, hot machinery.
Keep your hands, feet and body out of the engine room while
one or both engines are operating.
