Gelcoat Maintenance

Your Skipper’s Kit included samples of quality boat care products recommended by Nautiques by Correct Craft. Nautiques by Correct Craft is proud of its heritage and wants you to feel this pride every time you use your boat.

Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your hull and deck surfaces in good condition. Sun exposure, residue from trees and minerals in the water affect your boat’s finish.

To help maintain the shine of your boat, wash the hull with a mild bio-degradable detergent after each use. This will help to remove any debris and waterborne materials that are on the hull. Use a soft sponge or towel and dry with a chamois cloth to prevent water spots.

Wax the hull sides and deck regularly with a high quality wax. Waxes and polishes are available at your Nautique dealer and marine supply stores. Always follow the directions on these products carefully before you use them.

The hull bottom is an especially important area to keep clean since any buildup of water scum and algae will create drag and reduce the boat’s efficiency. If you must leave your boat in the water, there are compounds to remove algae buildup on your hull. Some of these can be caustic. Pay special attention to the cautions on the label of these coatings. Ask your Nautique dealer for advice on which work best in your area.

If your boat’s gelcoat develops a chalky look over a period of time due to exposure to sun, there are gelcoat buffing and polishing compounds available at your Nautique dealer and marine supply stores. DO NOT use common household scouring pads or powders.

If you will be keeping your boat in the water for ANY period of time, we suggest that the wetted surface of the hull be painted with an epoxy paint formulated for blister protection.
