Surface Stains
Stains can appear as a result of dust, road tar, plant sap, rust from metal fittings and other
materials coming in contact with your boat’s exterior. Listed below is a step-by-step
procedure to remove stains from your boat:
1) Wash area with dish washing soap
2) Apply a mild cleanser on a small area (3 x 3 ft)
3) Rinse with fresh water
4) Buff with a fine rubbing compound
5) Wax
If the stain is not removed by the dish washing soap or mild cleanser, then the next
procedure is to use either denatured or rubbing alcohol. Common rubbing alcohol is
excellent for removing stains.
Scratches
Scratches to the gelcoat sometimes occur during normal use. Your dealer can usually
restore the gelcoat to like-new condition.
Underwater Corrosion
Corrosion occurs in saltwater conditions from the interaction of the saltwater and the
direct current of the battery. To prevent corrosion, it is important to keep the bilge area as
dry and clean as possible.
Care for Boats that are Moored
Due to gelcoat discoloration, osmosis (blistering) and algae growth, it is not recommended
that you leave your boat moored for 21 days or more. If your boat will be moored in fresh
water or saltwater for extended periods of time, you should do the following:
1) Haul-out and clean your boat regularly (every 14 to 21 days). Use soap, water
and plenty of elbow grease.
2) Apply wax after cleaning.
You should also check with your local Malibu dealer about anti-fouling paint and other
products that can be applied to the hull bottom below the water line.
If the boat will be moored for more than 21 days, we recommend applying an anti-fouling
paint.
Teak Wood
Care must be taken to keep teak wood from turning gray or rough. The roughing becomes
more apparent as the moisture evaporates and dries out.
It is suggested that you use teak or mineral oil treatments at least four times a year to
maintain the appearance of your swim platform. Use a high-quality teak oil which can be
purchased at your local Malibu dealership.
For additional information on care, maintenance and warranty on your swim platform,
please see the information provided in your Owners Packet.
Teak sealers and cleaners can damage other materials. Make
sure you thoroughly remove any spills or excess. Teak should
not be varnished. The natural oils in teak cause poor adhesion.
