Gel Coats
The smooth, beautiful skin of the fiberglass hull is made of gel coat. Gel coat is a strong but thin (though
thicker than automotive paint) layer of colored resin. The best way to keep the gel coat skin on your boat in
top condition is through regular maintenance. The following guidelines will help keep gel coat looking good
for years to come.
DO’S
●
Keep the gel coat surface out of direct sunlight or covered when not in use.
●
Wash gel coat frequently (daily in salt or polluted environments) with mild detergent and plenty of fresh
water. Remove any stains quickly. Gelcoat is microscopically porous, so long term staining may
become permanent.
●
Regularly (monthly in salt or polluted environments) wax gel coat surfaces with marine grade wax
recommended for fiberglass finishes.
DON’TS
●
Do not use plastic or other nonporous (non-breathable) materials to cover gel coat surfaces. Trapped
moisture from condensation can cause gel coat damage. Shrink wrap storage covers must be
properly ventilated, including hullsides.
●
Do not use abrasives, bleaches, ammonias, acids or harsh detergents. See your dealer for special
marine formulations.
●
NEVER wax a gel coat surface in direct sunlight.
●
Do not attempt to remove stains and scratches. Chalking, stains, and minor scratches can be
removed in most cases with careful rubbing and polishing with appropriate chemicals and is best
done by a professional – see your dealer.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
Some stern drive boats are equipped with an optional Automatic Fire Extinguishing
System for an engine compartment fire. The system is automatically actuated when
temperatures reach or exceed a preset limit.
When actuation occurs, a loud popping sound may be heard followed by “rushing” air
sound. When a discharge occurs, immediately shut down all electrical and
mechanical systems including engine, and powered ventilation (Blowers).
Do not open the engine hatch at this time! This feeds oxygen to the fire and
flashback can occur. Allow the extinguishing agent to “soak” the compartment for at
least fifteen (15) minutes, and wait for hot metals and fuels to cool before inspecting
for cause or damage.
Fire extinguishing agents and fire by-product fumes are toxic; do not breath fire fumes.
Accidental discharge can be dangerous and may cause serious injury. Do not attempt to
service the system unless qualified to do so.
If fire is still active after system dishcarges: All occupants should immediately put on PFDs
(Personal Flotation Devices) and get off the boat.
