Proper care and maintenance preserves the value of your investment. This chapter
explains how to keep your boat looking like new as the years go by.
Use cleaning agents sparingly. Never discharge cleaning solutions into the water-
ways. Do not use products containing phosphates, chlorine, solvents, or nonbiode-
gradable or petroleum based products.
1. Check level of electrolyte solution and add only distilled water
when needed.
2. Keep battery cables tightly connected and corrosion free.
(A solution of baking soda and water works to remove corrosion
on battery terminals.)
3. Periodic checks at your dock or service station will keep your
battery running at top efficiency.
4. Store battery in cool place (but avoid freezing temperatures). All batteries will
lose some charge when stored, but the lower the temperature, the less loss of
charge.

The battery must be installed with a boot on positive end and secured in the factory
installed retainer hold down system. Battery movement must be restricted to a max-
imum of 1” in any direction (to all sides and up).
1. Check battery monthly for proper fluid levels.
2. Remove battery during prolonged boat storage periods.
Spontaneous combustion can ignite rags wetted with acetone,
cleaning fluids, fuel, or other solvents. Never store wetted rags on board. Dispose
of them properly on shore.
