Care for Boats that are Moored
Due to gelcoat discoloration, osmosis (blistering) and algae growth, it is not
recommended that you leave your boat moored for long periods of time. If your boat will
be moored in fresh water or saltwater for extended periods of time, you should do the
following:
1) Haul-out and clean your boat regularly (every 14 to 21 days). Use soap, water
and plenty of elbow grease.
2) Apply wax after cleaning.
You should also check with your local Axis dealer about anti-fouling paint and other
products that can be applied to the hull bottom below the water line.
