  • Page 33: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The materials and workmanship of your NorthCoast 255 Hard Top will insure many years of operation and enjoyment. However, there are numerous steps you can take to keep your boat in top condition. Failure to take certain of these steps may result in shortened life span of certain equipment and may in certain cases, void the warranty.

  • Page 34: Other Exterior Components

    MAINTENANCE (continued) Inevitably you will get scratches on the gelcoat surfaces. • Water sand minor scratches with #600 paper, then buff with polishing compound or equivalent. Scratches that penetrate to the fiberglass substrate should be dealt with immediately. This is particularly important on scratches below the waterline.
  • Page 35 MAINTENANCE (continued) Stainless Steel and Aluminum All metals used on your NorthCoast are selected for their resistance to corrosion. However, none are corrosion proof. What appears to be “bare aluminum” is actually anodized. When welded, the anodizing breaks down due to heat. Make sure to keep the weld joints waxed for best protection.

  • Page 36: Winterization, Storage And Commissioning

    MAINTENANCE (continued) Corrosion When operating in saltwater for extended periods, check the transom mounted grounding anode for significant de- gradation. Replace at 50% level. Check the sacrificial anodes in the engine. Check all metal thru-hull fittings when hauled out. Ensure that the engine is tilted full up when the boat is left moored or docked. Significant/frequent signs of pitting or other metal degradation may be indicative of a corrosion problem either with your vessel directly or due to other stray currents present in the marina or the marina electrical system.
