Maintenance & Cleaning
Maintenance
Maverick advises owners that maintenance and repairs should be performed at an
authorized Maverick Dealer. The following information is general in nature and should
not be considered a repair manual or guidelines set forth by Maverick Boat Group.
Cleaning
Each Maverick boat is constructed using the finest materials and components available.
However, no material is immune to the ravages of the saltwater environment. After each
use, your boat should be thoroughly washed using fresh water. To avoid water spots, dry
your vessel using a soft cloth. A fiberglass wax may be used to preserve the luster of the
hull.
Thorough and routine cleanings of your stainless fittings are required to maintain their
appearance. After each use of your boat, clean stainless fittings using fresh water and a
mild soap. Dry fittings completely. A wax or polish may be applied after cleaning. Any
rust must be removed as soon as possible to prevent irreversible damage to your vessel
and/or its components. A light coat of lubricant on metal railing, screws and electrical
connections will help prevent electrolysis. The same holds true for your trailer.

Engine Break-In Period
Engine Break-In Period
New engines require a period of break-in to allow the surfaces of the moving parts to
mate evenly. Different engines require different break-in periods and methods. For
instructions on break-in methods, refer to your Yamaha Engine Owner’s Manual for the
correct break-in procedures and times for your model engines.
Engine Stop Switch
If activated, the spring-loaded engine stop switch will
automatically shut down the engine during emergency
situations to prevent uncontrolled or unattended operation.
Certain emergency conditions (e.g., turbulent water, wakes,
unanticipated movement) may impair a person’s ability to
operate the craft safely. The switch, located on the helm, must
have the safety lanyard attached at its base. This activates the
protective shutdown circuitry.
Securely attach the other end of the lanyard to the operator of
the boat. If the operator moves, falls or is at an unsafe distance
from the steering wheel, tension on the lanyard will pull it
from the switch. When the lanyard is removed, the engine stop
switch is released and automatic engine shutdown occurs.
Engine Stop Switch
DANGER:
An engine stop switch system that is not used or does not function
properly can cause death or serious injury. DO NOT operate the boat if
the engine stop switch system does not function properly. Go to a
Maverick Dealer to have this resolved immediately.
The lanyard should be securely attached to the boat operator at all times that
the engine is on.

Switch Panel & Helm
Switch Panel & Helm
At the helm of your Maverick, you have a main
switch panel, which is located below the steering
wheel. This panel controls your lights, horn,
accessories, livewell, and your bilge. The bilge
switch is an on-demand switch to run your bilge
pump and is used as a backup in case the float
indicator in your bilge pump becomes clogged.
To the right of the steering wheel, you have your
two trim tab switches, which are standard on the
18 HPX-V. The boat also comes standard with a
compass mounted on top of the console.
Gauges
The instrument panel on your Maverick is composed of one Yamaha digital gauge and a
series of dual activation switches. The switches come with accessory plug-ins for wiring
additional electronics, pumps, or electrical circuits.
The standard digital gauge includes a Yamaha tachometer and a Yamaha speedometer
on one screen. The tachometer has several built-in features including an engine
temperature monitor, oil level monitor and engine trim indicator. The speedometer
includes a digital readout of the speed, an hour meter, trip meter and clock. For more
information on the specifics of your Yamaha gauges, see your Yamaha owner's manual.
