CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE REPAIRS Proper cleaning and maintenance is important for the longevity of your boat. We recommend rinsing your boat with fresh water after each use and thorough cleaning and maintenance at least once per year or at the end of your season. Use a mild boat cleaning agent or soap mixed with fresh water. With use, your boat will show wear. Most dents or scratches are not problems.
