MAINTENANCE
42
Your Cruise Craft boat has been built to the most rigid standards by experienced
craftsmen using materials of the highest quality - so you own a boat of high finish
requiring the minimum of maintenance.
1.
Flush engine with fresh water.
2.
After use in salt water, remove drain bungs and hose off with fresh water as
soon as possible, preferably drying with a chamois. This removes salt from the
fittings and maintains the high gloss finish of your deck and hull.
Important Note:
Do not use a brush or any coarse material on your windscreens.
3.
Should your boat become marked or stained, polish with a good quality wax.
4.
Should your canopy or sun top become dirty or stained use only soap and
warm water and not detergents.
5.
Your seats are covered with a high-quality stretch vinyl. Wipe off after using
a damp chamois. Do not stand on them in shoes or leave sharp objects lying on
them. Should they become dirty or stained only use soap and warm water for
cleaning.
6.
Bearing buddies are highly recommended to help prevent water seeping into
trailer wheel bearings.
7.
Remove prop and grease shaft monthly during use. Clean battery posts and
terminals regularly and coat with suitable lubricant. Clean and oil or grease
steering shafts and pivot pins monthly.
8.
Built-in tanks generally have a filter bowl. Check regularly for moisture and
dirt. Remove and clean.
9.
If your boat trailer has lights that are immersed during launching and
retrieving, remove the lenses regularly and spray with a dewatering fluid.
10.
When required, polish your boat with an approved fibreglass polish (about
every two months). Where possible, cover the boat or store in shed when not in
use.
