8.4 Maintenance

• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch assemblies with

a light oil.

• Periodically clean and coat gasket materials with silicone

to help keep them pliable.

• The opening cabin deck hatches are made of acrylic

plastic glass. Acrylic glass scratches easily. Never use

a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic glass

. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine

cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia

can permanently damage acrylic glass. Please refer to the

Routine Maintenance chapter for more information on the

proper maintenance for acrylic plastic glass.

• Periodic inspection and cleaning of the engine compartment

ventilation ducts is necessary to ensure adequate air

circulation. A buildup of leaves, twigs, or other debris

can severely reduce ventilation. It also is important to be

sure that the drains in the vent bafﬂes are open to prevent

excessive sea water from accumulating in the vents and

overﬂowing into the engine compartment.

• The bilge blowers are permanently lubricated and require

no maintenance. Blower operation can and should be

tested by placing a hand over the exhaust vents. Do not

rely on the sound of the blowers. A substantial amount of

air should be exhausted by the blower. Frequently check

the intake vents for obstructions, preferably before each

cruise.

Note: Should blower noise become excessive, the source

of the noise should be found and corrected before

operating the boat.
