CARING FOR YOUR BOAT
PONTOON OR HULL BOTTOM
MAINTENANCE
Use a commercial hull cleaner and a brush to remove
algae or scum on the pontoons or the bottom of your boat.
They will be easier to remove if they are not allowed to dry
out. If your boat will remain in the water for more than three
months, check with your dealer about the best bottom
coating to use for preventing algae or scum buildup.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Refilling the water tank regularly can help assure a fresh,
clean water supply. If you are not going to be using your
boat for an extended period of time, you may want to drain
the water container and refill it with fresh water when you
are ready to use it again.
You should sanitize the fresh water system before you use
it for the first time, when you fit out after winter storage or if
you suspect the water system has been contaminated.
1. Drain the fresh water container completely. Open the
faucet and allow water to drain from the hose.
2. Pour 1 ounce of household bleach into the container,
and fill with clean fresh water.
3. Pressurize the system and bleed air from the faucet
and any other outlets.
4. After 3 hours, drain the system completely.
5. Fill the container with clean, fresh water. Flush system
by draining container again.
6. Fill the container with clean, fresh drinking water.
If you can smell or taste bleach in the water, a vinegar
solution will neutralize the bleach. Mix a solution of 1 pint
white vinegar to 2-1/2 gallons of water. Pour the solution
into the container and allow to stand for an hour. Drain and
flush the system with one full container of water.
