WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. If fuel or a fuel/water mix drains from the fuel tank compartment drain, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. Do not operate the boat until the source of the fuel leak is found and corrected.

2)Remove the drain plugs in the stern ② and engine compartment ③. Wash down the hull, boat interior, and drive units with fresh water, mild natural soap, then rinse.

3)Rinse the engine and bilge areas with fresh water. Drain off all water and wipe up remaining moisture with clean, dry rags. Reinstall the drain plugs.

4)Spray the exterior of the engines with Yamaha Silicone Protectant and Lubricant or an equivalent.

5)Wax the hull with a non-abrasive wax designed for marine gelcoat.

WARNING! Slippery surfaces can cause falls and injury. Be careful not to apply too much wax on deck and gunwale stepping sur- faces. This will make them slip- pery.

6)Wipe all vinyl and rubber compo- nents, such as the seats and engine compartment seals, with a vinyl pro- tectant such as Yamaha Protectant.

7)Vacuum and or hose-off the carpet- ing (if equipped) as necessary. If needed, use a quality brand-name carpet cleaner product to clean soiled areas. Roll up the carpet face out for storage.

Always dry the carpet face up. Never roll up the carpet while wet. Never fold the carpet.

8)Wash the fabric of the Bimini top (if equipped) with a mild natural soap in lukewarm water, then rinse. Do not use detergents. Allow to air dry thoroughly before storage. See the label on the Bimini top and the manufacturer’s care instructions for more detailed information.
