After Each Use
General Cleaning And Storage
Refer to the Corrosion Prevention and Cleaning the Boat
sections of this Owner’s Manual. After each outing, the boat
should receive a general cleaning and drying prior to being
stored. Even if the boat is kept in a slip, owners/operators
should wipe down the interior and should periodically remove
the boat from the water for a general cleaning.
In instances of boats being left moored in water, it may be
necessary to periodically run the bilge pump to clear out water
that has intruded into the bilge compartment. Keep the batteries
fully charged in order to be able to provide this function.
Inspections
As noted in the Before Each Use section, some functions need
to be performed following use of the boat, such as checking
the intake strainer or seacock strainer if evidence has shown
that debris collects during the outing. Wet debris is often
easier to remove.
