Trim Care
All trim on your boat must be regularly maintained to
extend its life and service. Most items can be cleaned
with a mild soap and a soft cloth or sponge.
Aluminum
Wash aluminum parts with clear water and mild deter-
gent. Protect surface with liquid cleaner or wax. DO
NOT use harsh chemicals or abrasives. To minimize
corrosion from contact between dissimilar metals, use
a high quality marine grade caulking compound when
mounting non-aluminum hardware. Also ensure all
electrical equipment is insulated from the aluminum
hardware.
Deck Hardware
Clean deck hardware frequently with soap and water.
A glass cleaner is usually safe for stainless hardware.
Remove rust spots as soon as possible with a brass,
silver, or chrome cleaner. Never use an abrasive like
sandpaper or steel wool on stainless steel parts.
Drains & Scuppers
Check all compartment drains, scuppers, and bilge
discharge drains at least once a month. Inspect for
gaps in sealant, tightness, cracks, and UV damage.
Inspect scupper flaps for deterioration. If any drains
are damaged, have them serviced or replaced imme-
diately.
!
CAUTION
Failure to properly maintain thru-hull fittings
might lead to serious hull damage and could
void portions of your hull warranty.
