Carpet
Occasional vacuuming and washing with mild detergent and warm water or
household carpet cleaners will keep the carpet clean. Thoroughly wash the
detergent out of the carpet with clean water. Let the carpet dry in the sun to
prevent any mildew or odor caused by moisture.
Windshield
A clean windshield is important. Your boat is equipped with a glass windshield,
which can be sufficiently cleaned with a nonabrasive glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Harsh detergents, solvents, chemicals or dry cloths used on any glass
windshield can scratch the surface.
Bilge
A boat’s bilge area accumulates oil and greasy dirt over a period of time and
should be cleaned periodically. Consult your local marine dealer for
recommendations on special bilge cleaning products and procedures.
Bilge Pump
Periodically check the bilge pump(s) inlet screens and hoses for obstructions and
debris. Foreign materials can clog the screen and hoses or become lodged in the
bilge pump impeller, which can cause the pump to malfunction. Periodically check
the operation of the bilge pump and float switch, if equipped. Inspect all wiring,
clamps and hoses for tightness on a regular basis.
Cockpit Heater
The marine heater must be drained completely for winter storage. When
winterizing the engine cooling system, the heater must be included. See the
Marine Heater Operator’s Manual for further information.
Trim Tab/Stinger Wake Plate
Periodically inspect the trim tab for damage and leaks. Check the hydraulic pump
(if equipped) fluid level periodically and fill with the recommended fluid.
