services are usually offered by your dealer. (They are not
covered by your warranty.)
PONTOONS
If a rock, log or other obstacle punctures a pontoon, the
pontoon will not fill completely with water. If water enters
the pontoon, the boat will list, but it will not sink. Repairing
a punctured pontoon requires specialized procedures and
welding skills. Contact your dealer for pontoon repairs.
SALT WATER OPERATION
If your boat is in daily contact with salt water, remove it
from the water every three months and flush it from top to
bottom with fresh water. In salt water areas hardware
should be flushed with fresh water. Clean hardware and
spray with a marine corrosion inhibitor every month.
Pontoons that are not bottom painted and maintained per
the coating manufacturer's directions can be more
vulnerable to saltwater damage. Trailer bunks should be
made of a non-absorbent water proof material and must
not be carpeted. Wood and carpet will retain salt and
brackish contaminants that will corrode pontoons. Salt
water can also affect the engine. Corrosion inhibitors are
available from your dealer.
Installing a transom-mounted sacrificial zinc anode is
recommended if you operate your boat in salt, polluted or
brackish waters. The zinc anode will deteriorate before the
metal it protects. If the anode erodes 50% or more, it must
be replaced; otherwise, corrosion may damage other metal
parts.
DECK HARDWARE AND FITTINGS
Clean all cleats, rails and similar equipment periodically
with good chrome cleaner and polish with a marine paste
wax to prevent corrosion. Replace broken or damaged
hardware by bolting it through the deck and a reinforcing
block underneath.
