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 battery
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.
Note that fuel systems vary by model. The pump-in-tank location
on top of the fuel tank will resemble one of the two photos.
This is important! Fuel leakage can lead to a build-up of potentially
explosive fumes within the engine compartment. DO NOT IGNORE
OR OVERLOOK THIS INSPECTION AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY!
Also, recheck that there is no unusual exhaust odors as described
prior to starting the engine.
