Chapter 13:

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

13.1 General

BEFORE USING A CLEANING PRODUCT, REFER TO THE PRODUCT DIRECTIONS AND

SPECIFICATIONS.

IF URETHANE FOAM IS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR BOAT, USE SPECIAL

CARE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES OR FLAMES IN THESE AREAS. URETHANE FOAM

CAN IGNITE. REFRAIN FROM BURNING, WELDING, SMOKING, THE USE OF SPACE

HEATERS AND LIGHTS IN AREAS WHERE URETHANE FOAM IS PRESENT. IF IGNITED,

URETHANE FOAM BURNS RAPIDLY, PRODUCES EXTREME HEAT, RELEASES HAZARD-

OUS GASES AND CONSUMES MUCH OXYGEN.

WHEN PAINTING OR CLEANING, VENTILATE THE AREA. PAINT OR CLEANING PROD-

UCTS MAY BE FLAMMABLE AND/OR EXPLOSIVE.

13.2 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 FIBERGLASS WAX REMOVERS AND

PRIMERS RECOMMENDED BY THE ANTIFOULING PAINT MANUFACTURER WHEN PRE-

PARING THE HULL FOR BOTTOM PAINT. SANDING OR SANDBLASTING AND THE

USE OF A COATING OTHER THAN STANDARD ANTIFOULING PAINT OR EPOXY BAR-

RIER COATINGS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AND WILL VOID THE FIVE YEAR HULL

BLISTER WARRANTY.
