Floor Coverings:
Treat vinyl covered floors the same way you would household vinyl. Periodic vacuuming
of marine carpeting is
recommended
.
Seats & Windows:
Clean vinyl seats only with a cleaner specifically made for vinyl. For windows, any
commercial window cleaner will work
satisfactorily
. Caution should be exercised to avoid
spraying cleaner on painted areas of the boat as this can damage painted surfaces.
Maintenance and Adjustments
Periodic Inspection Checklist:
Check entire fuel system for leaks.
Check all engine mount fasteners for tightness.
Check all deck fasteners for tightness.
Inspect hull and motor mounts for cracks and other signs of fatigue such as deep
scuffing. Check hull drain plug.
Check bilge for oil, water and gasoline.
Check steering lines or cables and shift cables for wear and ease of function.
Check oil level.
Test battery and check for damage or corrosion.
Test all switches, lights, horn, and accessories.
Check for burnt out lights.
Check seat fasteners and swivels for tightness and wear.
Inspect zinc hull anode and replace if required.
Inspecting the Fuel System:
The fuel system can be accessed through removable panels in the transom and in the
deck. Remove the panels and check the fill fitting, the tank fittings and the vent lines at the
filler cap and at the tank for signs of leakage. Also check the hoses for signs of wear,
chafing and other deterioration. Replace any damaged fuel hoses immediately.
Inspecting the Steering:
Your boat will come with an owner’s manual for the type of steering system that your boat
is equipped with. Refer to this manual for information on proper maintenance. Never
operate your boat with a damaged or improperly functioning steering system. Confirm that
the hydraulic reservoir is full, and check all hoses and connections are leak-free.
Inspecting the Shift Cable/Throttle Cable:
Your boat will come with a manual for the type of engine controls fitted. Refer to this
manual for information on proper maintenance. Never operate your boat with a damaged
or improperly functioning set of controls, cables or linkages.
