Qualified Maintenance

diction and could expose yourself and others to the danger of bodily injury or accidental death.
Follow the maintenance instructions in:

This will detract from your boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance, and may damage the gel coat.
Periodically haul your boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
To maintain the safety of your boat, allow ONLY trained personnel to work on, or change, in
any way, the:
Steering system
Propulsion system
Engine control system
Fuel system
Environmental control system
Electrical system
Navigation system
WARNING!

The engine owner’s manual, and;
All accessory literature.
Applying an epoxy barrier coating to the hull bottom will help prevent gel coat blistering
while your boat is moored.
Cover the barrier coating with several coats of anti-fouling paint.

paints. Your local dealer can recommend bottom paints approved for use in your state.
