SECTION 9 • CARE & REFINISHING

7. BILGE/ENGINE COMPARTMENT

1. Pump the bilges dry and remove all loose dirt.

Be sure that all limber holes are open. If there

is oil in the bilge and the source is not known,

look for leaks in engine oil lines or engine

gaskets. Oil stains can be removed by using a

bilge cleaner available from your dealer or a

marina. DO NOT use flammable solvents.

2. Check all wiring to be sure it is properly

supported, that its insulation is intact, and that

there are no loose or corroded terminals. If there

are corroded terminals, they should be replaced

or thoroughly cleaned. Tighten all terminals

securely and spray them with light marine

preservative oil.

3. Inspect the entire fuel system (including fill lines

and vents) for any evidence of leakage. Any

stains around joints could indicate a leak. Try a

wrench on all fittings to be sure they are not

loose, but do not over tighten them. Clean fuel

filters and vent screens.

4. Inspect the entire bottom for evidence of

seepage, damage or deterioration, paying

particular attention to hull fittings, hoses and

clamps. Straighten kinked hoses and replace

any that do not feel pliable. Tighten loose hose

clamps and replace those that are corroded.

Tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws.

5. Refer to your engine operator’s manual for

engine maintenance details. Wipe off engine to

remove accumulated dust and grease. If a

solvent is used, make sure it is nonflammable.

Go over the entire engine and tighten nuts,

bolts, and screws. Inspect the wiring on the

engine and clean and tighten the terminals.

Inspect the belts and tighten them if needed.

Clean and lubricate the battery terminals; fill the

battery cells with distilled water as needed.

8. TOPSIDE AREAS

A. STAINLESS STEEL AND A LLOY FITTINGS

Stainless steel and alloy fittings should be cleaned

with soap and water or household glass cleaner.

Remove rust spots as soon as possible with a

brass, silver or chrome cleaner. Irreversible pitting

will develop under rust that remains for any period

of time. Never use an abrasive like sandpaper or

steel wool on stainless. These may actually cause

rust. To help protect the stainless, we recommend

the use of a good car wax.

B. SALT CRYSTALS

When instruments are exposed to a saltwater

environment, salt crystals may form on the bezel

and the plastic covers. These salt crystals should

be removed with a soft, damp cloth; never use

abrasives or rough, dirty cloths to wipe plastic parts.

Mild household detergents or plastic cleaners can

be used to keep the instruments bright and clean.

REFER TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR

INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.

9. GAUGE & SWITCH PANELS

No special care is needed. Just wipe off with

a soft, fresh water damp cloth to remove dust

or salt. Dry after with chamois or soft cloth.

Use of protective chemicals is not required.
