Section 8
Sudden changes in temperature can affect gelcoat. If you move your boat from outdoors to a heated area, allow the temperature change to be gradual. Heat the area after the boat is moved to allow the boat to warm up slowly as the area is heated. Also, if you move your boat from a warmer area to a colder one, wait for the outside temperature to be closer to the warmer area’s temperature or allow the area and the boat to cool down first.
Care of Metal
•Aluminum care
•Stainless care
•Chrome
•Anodized towers
•Aluminum Clear Coat Towers
Keep all metal work rinsed and wiped dry. Periodically polish it with a quality commercially available metal polish to remove substances such as airborne pollution and natural body oils from your hands. Do not use citrus cleaners on stainless steel or wax on anodized towers. For best results on the aluminum clear coat towers, use cleaners and waxes suitable for clear coat finishes.
Care of Glass
Your windshield, mirrors and gauge faces all deserve the same attention as the other parts of your boat. Clean them often with quality commercially available glass cleaners.
