CARING FOR YOUR BOAT
ENGINE
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for recommended
frequencies and detailed information about engine care
and maintenance. If you have operated your boat in
shallow or salt water, flush the engine with fresh water at
the end of your boating excursion.
ALUMINUM SURFACES
Cleaning
Treat natural aluminum portions of aluminum boats with a
clear protective coating to reduce natural oxidation. Rinse
occasionally with clear water or mild detergent to keep
these portions of the boat clean. Use water and mild
detergent for cleaning and protect the surface with a liquid
cleaner or wax. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
Remove stains or light corrosion with a good metal polish.
Buff with a fine rubbing compound only if necessary.
Remove algae, scum or other marine growth while they are
still wet. They will be much harder to remove if they have
had a chance to dry out.
Painting
Some anti-fouling paints react adversely with aluminum.
Do not use paints containing copper, arsenic, antimony,
mercury or lead on aluminum surfaces with or without a
primer.
Follow bottom painting instructions carefully. Improper
application of bottom paint can damage pontoons and
void your warranty.
The bottom of the pontoons should be painted if you keep
your boat in salt water. Anti-fouling paint may be used if
