HULL/DECK

HULL BOTTOM

Never use wire brushes or highly abrasive scouring pads
on your hull bottom. It could damage the gel coat surface
or the bottom paint. The bottom of your boat needs to
be clean since the build up of natural coatings from wa-
ter or marine life can potentially create drag and affect
boat performance. Use a turkish towel or for heavier
build-up a piece of rug to clean the bottom.
HULL/DECK
For normal dirt and insect residue find a soft bristle brush
on a long telescopic handle at an automotive store. A
good brush is designed with a curved soft base to protect
objects it comes in co ntact with while scrubbing. Rinse
down the hull with a hose to loosen up the dirt. Use a
mild soap solution in a bucket. Use up and down strokes
to clean the hull sides. Rinse off until all residue is re-
moved.

PLASTICS

carefully. Test the product in a small area first.Use a soft
rag and always rinse the surface with water. Ammonia
based cleaners and abrasives will damage plastic parts.
