ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
7-13 53 COUPE
NOTE: Do not apply bottom paint to the sacrificial anodes.
The optional underwater lights, if installed, are located in the transom.
7.4.8 Washdown Hoses
Keep the O-ring on the insert end of the washdown hoses lubricated. Apply a mild
liquid soap (such as a liquid dish soap or boat wash) to the insert on the hose
end. For a long-term lubrication solution, apply petroleum jelly such as Vasoline ® .
Apply a light coat to the hose connection and insert it into the washdown port.
Depending on your location and usage, a monthly application may be necessary.
7.5 INTERIOR EQUIPMENT AND DECOR
The interior of your boat should be maintained much like the inside of your home.
The major difference is that your boat interior is subjected to moisture not found
at home. Periodically, put cushions, blankets, sheets, etc., out in the sun to dry
thoroughly and air out well. If they get wet with salt water, rinse with fresh water
to remove the salt crystals, and dry thoroughly. Salt crystals retain moisture and
will damage the material.
Your Tiara’s teak trim was coated with polyurethane varnish before leaving the
factory and should only need occasional dusting with furniture polish.
Carpet (if installed) should be vacuumed periodically and cleaned just the same
as carpet inside a home.
Quartz and Corian ® surfaces should be cleaned with a mild soap and water.
Use a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami
®
for difficult stains.
See section 7.4.3 for Plexiglas
®
and acrylic cleaning instructions.
7.6 ENGINE ROOM
Keep the engine room clean and free of debris. A clean engine room assures
that the engines and generator will receive a clean supply of air while running,
and that any problems or leaks will be immediately obvious during routine engine
fluid checks.
