Storage - Mercury Quicksilver Series Manual

• Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by 30 mm
from all sides.
• Center the overlapping patch over the damaged area and trace with a
pencil the outline of the patch.
• Clean the surroundings of the puncture and the patch.
• Apply two thin layers of adhesive using a short bristle brush, in a circular
pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch area on the boat.
Allow the first layer to dry completely (approximately 15 minutes) before
applying the second layer. The second layer should dry until tacky, then
apply the patch to the prepared area and press down firmly. Using a
smooth object (the back of a tablespoon works well), force out any air
bubbles that may have been trapped under the patch, working from the
center of the patch to the outside.
• Wait 24 hours before you inflate the boat again.
Consult your local dealer when experiencing problems.

Storage

IMPORTANT: To prevent hull or tube discoloration from marine growth or
polluted waters, DO NOT store boat in the water for extended periods of time.
1. After use, the boat and all components should be washed and rinsed with
fresh water. Dry all parts before storage in the carrying bag. This will help
prevent mold or mildew.
2. The transom should be inspected for damage or deterioration of the finish.
Scratches or abrasions should be refinished with a marine grade varnish.
3. To keep the boat looking new, store the boat in a cool dry area and avoid
excess exposure to direct sun light.
4. An accessory cover is available to cover and protect your boat during
storage.
5. If you store your boat for a longer period do not keep the boat in the
delivered boat bag.
To avoid damaging the boat during storage, do not place heavy objects on the
boat.
