Section 8
If your boat's gelcoat develops a chalky look over a period of time
due to exposure to sun, there are gelcoat buffing and polishing
compounds available at your Nautique dealer and marine supply
stores. DO NOT use common household scouring pads or
powders.
If you will be keeping your boat in the water for ANY period of time,
we suggest that the wetted surface of the hull be painted with an
epoxy paint formulated for blister protection.
Sudden changes in temperature can affect gelcoat. If you move
your boat from outdoors to a heated area, allow the temperature
change to be gradual. Heat the area after the boat is moved to allow
the boat to warm up slowly as the area is heated. Also, if you move
your boat from a warmer area to a colder one, wait for the outside
temperature to be closer to the warmer area's temperature or allow
the area and the boat to cool down first.
