• Clean and inspect the entire bilge. Dir t in
the bilge will accumulate, soak up oil and
eventually become a fire hazard, so k eep
your bilge clean. See your dealer for en viron-
mentally safe bilge cleaner s.
• Visually inspect all electrical connections for
chafing and cor rosion and tighten connec-
tions if the y are loose.
• Carefully inspect all lifesa ving equipment
(PFDs) for cut or tor n fabric and other signs
of deterioration and replace if necessar y.
• Carefully check hull for cracks and contact
your dealer if you suspect damage has
occurred.
• Check the entire fuel system for an y evi-
dence of line deterioration or fuel leaks. If
any suspicious lines or connections are dis-
covered, have them repaired or replaced
before going out on the w ater.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
• Have a qualified technician thoroughly
inspect your entire electrical system, includ-
ing performing a leakage test of each
circuit.
SALTWATER CORROSION
The entire boat should be rinsed with fresh
water immediately after a cr uise in salt w ater. If
the boat is used primarily in saltw ater, wax the
hull monthly and apply cor rosion inhibitor to all
hardware. See your dealer for products suitable
for the marine saltw ater environment. Freshwa-
ter internal flushing is recommended when used
in salt, polluted or brackish w aters.
BOTTOM MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: If your boat will be in w ater contin-
uously, we recommend sealing the bottom of
the hull with a high quality bar rier coating .
Unsealed gelcoat ma y form water blister s.
Repair of w ater blister damage is not co vered
under the w arranty. If required, contact your
dealer for fur ther information.
The best w ay to prevent blistering is to minimize
the amount of time the boat remains in the
water. If the boat must remain in the w ater, the
application of a “blister guard” system to the
hull below the w aterline will lessen the possibil-
ity of blistering . The application of blister guard
will decrease the maximum speed of your boat.
Proper application is essential; contact your
dealer or marine ser vice center for additional
information.
We recommend your boat be remo ved from salt-
water and rinsed after each use to pre vent
unwanted marine growth on the hull and to
maintain ultimate high perfor mance. The bottom
of your boat must be k ept clean! An y buildup of
marine life from w ater will create drag and affect
the boat’s performance and efficiency . Never
use brushes or scouring pads on the bottom of
your boat, as this can cause small scratches
that will actually trap in dir t.
Antifouling bottom paint is designed to dissolve
slowly to pre vent marine growth. Therefore, the
hull bottom should be repainted at the begin-
ning of the boating season. F actors to tak e into
consideration when selecting a protective bot-
tom paint are w ater temperature, pollution,
salinity, current and organic material in the
water.
IMPORTANT: Consult with your dealer for rec-
ommended bottom paints and local la ws that
govern your area. Man y states regulate the
chemical content of bottom paints to meet en vi-
ronmental standards and regulations.
1. Scrub hull bottom with a bristled br ush and
mixture of soap and w ater.
NOTE: Repainting the hull bottom is not
required after each scr ubbing unless bare areas
are visible in the bottom paint.
2. Sand entire bottom surface of boat.
3. Smooth out all rough areas as required.
4. Clean bottom surface to remo ve all dust and
foreign materials.
5. Make sure bottom surface is completely
dry.
6. Apply new coat of bottom paint.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’ s procedures
and recommendations concer ning application of
paint and drying time before putting your boat in
the water.
PROTECTION AGAINST
ELECTROLYSIS
IMPORTANT: It is the boat owner’ s responsibility
to periodically inspect and replace the sacrificial
