Exterior Maintenance
The following paragraphs explain how to maintain the various
materials present outside your boat’s cabin to help keep the boat
looking new.
Fiberglass Surfaces
The exterior fiberglass surfaces of your boat are coated with a
protective layer of gelcoat. Gelcoat forms a hard, smooth and durable
surface. It does, however, contain microscopic pores that, over time,
can collect dirt and discolor if the gelcoat is not kept clean.
Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing your boat. Abrasive
cleaners scratch and dull the gelcoat.
Wash the boat with fresh water after each outing to help keep the
gelcoat clean. If you operate your boat in salt water, wash it at least
once every week, even if it hasn’t been used since the last washing.
Periodically wash the boat with a solution of fresh water and mild
soap. Use a sponge to wash smooth surfaces and a stiff nylon or
natural bristle brush to wash nonskid surfaces.
Do not wax the nonskid surfaces. Waxing them makes them
slippery and dangerous to walk on.
Wax all non-tread areas at least once a season. Use a high quality,
non-yellowing, marine wax. Waxing your boat provides a shiny
surface and seals the pores in the gelcoat, making it easier to keep
clean.
The continued and frequent use of abrasive polishing
compounds eventually erodes the gelcoat.
Gelcoat eventually dulls with age, much like the paint on your car.
When it does this, you can restore the gelcoat’s luster using an
electric buffer and a very fine grade polishing compound. Ask your
Carver Dealer what brand and grade of polish to use.
Stress cracks are common on all fiberglass boats. In the majority of
instances these cracks are cosmetic and limited to the gelcoat surface
only. Gelcoat stress cracks are rarely an indication of structural
problems. If you discover stress cracks in your boat contact your
Carver Dealer.
