be providing the proper protection. Loose or low quality anodes could be the problem. Contact
your dealer for the proper size and type of zinc anodes to be used and the specific installation
procedure.
Fiberglass Gelcoat Surfaces
Normal maintenance requires only washing with mild soap and water. A stiff brush can be used
on the nonskid areas. Kerosene or commercially prepared products will remove oil and tar which
could be a problem on trailered boats. Harsh abrasive and chemical cleaners are not recommend-
ed because they can damage or dull the gelcoat, reducing its life and making it more susceptible
to stains. When the boat is used in saltwater, it should be washed thoroughly with soap and water
after each use.
At least once a season, wash and wax all exposed fiberglass surfaces. Use a high quality
automotive or boat wax. Follow the procedure recommended by the wax manufacturer. The
washing and waxing of your boat will have the same beneficial effects as they have on an
automobile finish. The wax will fill minute scratches and pores thus helping to prevent soiling
and will extend the life of the gelcoat.
After the boat is exposed to the direct sunlight for a period of time, the color in the gelcoat tends
to fade, dull or chalk. A heavier buffing is required to bring the gelcoat back to its original luster.
For power cleaning use a light cleaner. To clean the boat by hand, use a heavier automotive
cleaner. Before cleaning the surfaces, read the instructions given with the cleaner. After cleaning
the surfaces, apply wax and polish all fiberglass surfaces except the nonskid areas.
If the fiberglass should become damaged and need repair, contact your dealer for an authorized
repair person to make the repairs.
DO NOT WAX NONSKID AREAS AS THIS COULD MAKE THEM SLIPPERY AND
CONSEQUENTLY INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY.
Stainless Steel Hardware
When using the boat in saltwater, the hardware should be washed with soap and water after each
use. When your boat is used in a corrosive environment such as saltwater, water with a high sulfur
content, or polluted water, the stainless steel will periodically develop surface rust stains. This
is perfectly normal under these conditions. The stainless can normally be cleaned and protected
by using a high quality boat or automotive wax or a commercial metal cleaner and protectant.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY ABRASIVE MATERIALS SUCH AS
SANDPAPER, BRONZE WOOL, OR STEEL WOOL BE USED ON STAINLESS STEEL.
DAMAGE TO THE HARDWARE WILL RESULT.
