more frequently may indicate a stray current

problem within the boat or at the slip or

marina. Anodes that do not need to be

replaced after one year may not be providing

the proper protection. Loose or low quality

anodes could be the problem. Contact your

dealer for the proper size and type of

anodes to be used and the specific installa-

tion 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. DO NOT use harsh abrasive

and chemical cleaners 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, wash it

thoroughly with soap and water after each

use.

Sudden changes in temperature can affect

gelcoat. When planning on moving your boat

from outdoors to a heated location, allow the

change of temperature to be gradual. Warm

the location slowly after the boat is brought

inside to allow the boat to change tempera-

ture slowly as the location is warmed. Or, if

you are moving your boat from a warmer

area to a colder one, wait for the tempera-

ture to be closer to the temperature of the

warmer area or allow the warmer area and

the boat to cool down.

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 manu-

facturer. 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 which help

prevent soiling and will extend the life of the

gelcoat.

After the boat is exposed to the direct sun-

light for a period of time, the color in the gel-

coat tends to fade, dull or chalk from

oxidation of the gel. This condition will be

more apparent with dark colors, which

require more frequent maintenance. A

heavier buffing is required to bring the gel-

coat 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.

Be careful when walking on wet gelcoat sur-

faces.

DO NOT wax nonskid surfaces, these could

make them slippery and increase the possi-

bility of injury.

Stainless Steel Hardware

When using the boat in saltwater, wash

hardware with soap and water after each

use. When your boat is used in a higher cor-

rosive environment, such as saltwater, water

with a higher sulfur content or polluted water,

stainless steel will periodically develop sur-

face rust stains; this is normal under these

conditions.

Clean and protect by using a high quality

boat or automotive wax or a commercial

metal cleaner and protectant.

DO NOT use citrus-based, abrasive materi-

als such as sandpaper, bronze wool, or steel

wool on stainless steel as damage will

result.

! WARNING

SLIPPERY SURFACE HAZARD

Cleaning surfaces can generate slip-

pery conditions which can result in

death or serious injury. Use caution

when cleaning with detergents. Rinse

thoroughly.
