Section 6 Maintenance Wax ing A NIN Gelcoat surfaces are always slip p ery when wet. U se ex treme caution when walking on wet sur aces to avoid slipping or alling. Never wa p ortions of the b oat that have a non- skid p attern. The interior and e terior fiberglass parts of the hull should be wa ed a minimum of twice per year to protect the gelcoat from salt, dirt, and ultraviolet degradation.
Page 183: Trim Care
Maintenance Section 6 iberglass repairs should only be done by an e perienced fiberglass repair facility. If the damage penetrates the hull, call Brunswick Commercial & Government Products Customer Service Department for the correct repair procedures. The repair must be done following BCGP’s recommendations.
Page 184: Cutwater & Chafe Plates
Section 6 Maintenance Cutwater & Chafe Plates This option helps protect the fiberglass keel against debris while underway and reduces the risk of possible damage while beaching. If the boat is equipped with an optional cutwater, inspect the cutwater monthly for tears, large gaps, or other signs of damage.
Page 185: Drains & Scup P Ers
Maintenance Section 6 Drains & Scup p ers Check all compartment drains, scuppers, and bilge discharge drains at least once a month. Inspect for gaps in sealant, tightness, cracks, and damage. Inspect scupper aps for deterioration. If any drains or thru hull fittings are damaged, have them serviced or replaced immediately.
Page 186: Storage
Section 6 Maintenance Damage caused by blistering is not covered under your hull warranty. There are a number of important things that you can do to avert hull blistering. They include: Storage Store your boat out of the water when not in use. Store your boat on a trailer, in a boatlift, or on a cradle.

Page 188: F Uel System
Section 6 Maintenance Preparation is the key to successful hull painting. If the hull is bare, the gelcoat will have to be de wa ed before sanding can begin. After de wa ing is complete, light sanding with grit sandpaper is recommended. Proper ventilation and dust collection is essential.
Page 189 Maintenance Section 6 This boat is equipped with a standard fuel water separator for the generator and may have optional filters for the engines. Check the fuel water separators before and after every mission for signs of moisture and particulate contamination.
Page 190: Steering System
Section 6 Maintenance Steering System This boat is equipped with a hydraulic steering system that is associated with the engine package option selected. The erado four stroke engine option uses an enclosed hydraulic pump unit. The pump is electrically operated to provide hydraulic pressure to the steering system.
Page 191 Maintenance Section 6 Check the operation of the steering system before each mission. Turn the steering wheel from hard port to hard starboard while watching the engines for any unusual movement. If any unusual movement is detected, have the steering system serviced before operating the boat. It is good boating practice to rinse off your steering cylinder thoroughly with fresh, clean water after each use.
Page 192: Bilge Pump
Section 6 Maintenance Bilge Pump s The bilge pumps and water level sensors are sealed units and do not require any periodic maintenance. Check the bilge regularly to make sure there is no debris or sludge that could foul the water level sensors or clog the pumps. CAUTION Test your bilge pumps and water level sensors b efore each mission.
Page 193: Maintenance
Maintenance Section 6 Maintenance To clean the pump strainer, depress the lock tabs on both sides of the pump and lift the pump motor. If water does not come out of the discharge hose: Remove the motor module to see if the impeller rotates with the power on.
Page 194: Batteries
Section 6 Maintenance Batteries CAUTION Batteries should always b e secured in the battery trays provided with this boat. The trays will contain any sp illed acid and will p rotect the b attery terminals from damage or shorting due to contact with metal ob ects.

THE TW B W THR STER BATTERIES M ST BE A DEEP CYCLE, SEALED DESIGN. ailure to do so will result in an increased and dangerous presence of battery discharge gases accumulating in the forward cabin.
Page 196: Cleaning
Section 6 Maintenance You must not allow your batteries to become completely discharged. As a battery discharges, the active material on both positive and negative plates changes to lead sulfate, causing the plates to become similar in chemical composition. The battery electrolyte becomes weaker and the voltage drops.
Page 197: Battery Charging
Maintenance Section 6 Battery Charging In addition to supplying AC power to your boat, shore power hookup gives you the ability to charge your batteries without running the engines. The system is automatic and little or no maintenance is required. However, the breakers must be in the position in order for the systems to automatically charge.

Section 6 Maintenance O ff- Season Storage All boat and engine systems must be carefully prepared for long periods of non use. This preparation is particularly important in regions where you e perience e treme changes in temperature or where the temperature is consistently below freezing.
Page 199: F Uel System
Maintenance Section 6 F uel System You must take appropriate steps to protect your boat’s fuel system and engines during periods of non use. Situations where fuel isn’t being consumed and e posure to e treme changes in temperature will cause condensation to accumulate in your fuel system.
