ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
13.1 Exterior Hull and Deck
Hull Cleaning-Below The Water Line
When the boat is removed from the water, clean the outer bottom surface immediately. Algae,
grass, dirt and other marine growth is easier to remove while the hull is still wet. Use a pressure
cleaner or a hard bristle brush to clean the surface.
Bottom Painting
If the boat is to be left in saltwater for extended periods, the hull must be protected from marine
growth by antifouling paint. Because of variations in water temperature, marine growth, and
pollution in different regions, your dealer and/or a qualified boat yard in your area should be
consulted when deciding what bottom paint system to apply to your hull. This is extremely
important as pollution and marine growth can damage fiberglass hulls.
SANDING OR SANDBLASTING THE HULL BOTTOM WILL DAMAGE THE
FIBERGLASS. USE ONLY STANDARD ANTIFOULING PAINTS AND FIBER-
GLASS WAX REMOVERS AND PRIMERS RECOMMENDED BY THE ANTI-
FOULING PAINT MANUFACTURER WHEN PREPARING THE HULL FOR
BOTTOM PAINT. SANDING OR SANDBLASTING AND THE USE OF A
COATING OTHER THAN STANDARD ANTIFOULING PAINT OR EPOXY
BARRIER COATINGS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AND WILL VOID THE
FIVE YEAR HULL BLISTER WARRANTY.
Do not allow the hull antifouling paint to contact the outboard motor. Most antifouling paints designed
for hull bottoms contain copper and can cause severe galvanic damage to the motor. Always leave a
1/2" barrier between the hull bottom paint and outboard motor.
Most bottom paints require some maintenance. Proper maintenance is especially important when
the boat is in saltwater and not used for extended periods or after dry storage. If the hull bottom
has been painted with antifouling paint, contact your dealer for the recommended maintenance
procedures.
Anodes
Sacrificial anodes are installed on the outboard engines, the trim tabs and on the transom. The
transom zinc is connected to the bonding system and protects the underwater hardware that is
bonded.
The anodes are less noble than copper based alloys and aluminum and will deteriorate first,
