Section 11 Routine Maintenance

OS 315

Lubricate snaps periodically with petroleum

jelly or silicone grease. Lubricate zippers

with silicone spray or paraffin.

Remove the bimini top, side curtains, clear

connector, back drop and aft curtain when

trailering. Canvas enclosures are not

designed to withstand the extreme wind

pressure encountered while trailering and

will be damaged. Always remove and store

properly before trailering.

11.4 Cabin Interior

Clean cabin interior just like you would clean

a home interior.

• Teak woodwork - use teak oil.

• Carpeting - use a vacuum cleaner.

• Vinyl headliner - clean as previously

explained.

Air and sunlight are very good cleansers.

Periodically, place cushions, sleeping bags,

etc. on deck, under the sun and fresh air to

dry and air out. If cushions or equipment get

wet with saltwater, remove and use clean,

fresh water to rinse off the salt crystals. Salt

retains moisture and will cause damage. Dry

thoroughly and reinstall.

If you leave the boat for a long period of

time, put all cushions on their sides, open all

interior cabin and locker doors, and hang a

commercially available mildew protector in

the cabin.

Read the label carefully on mildew protec-

tors and remove the protector and allow the

cabin to ventilate completely before using

the cabin.

11.5 Bilge

To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a

commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow

the directions carefully. All exposed pumps

and metal components should be sprayed

with a protector periodically to reduce the

corrosive effects of the high humidity present

in these areas.

11.6 Generator (Optional)

The engine maintenance required on the

generator is similar to an inboard engine.

The engine incorporates a pressure-type

lubrication system and a fresh water cooled

engine block which is thermostatically con-

trolled. The most important factors to the

longevity of the generator is proper ventila-

tion and maintenance of the fuel system,

ignition system, cooling system, lubrication

system and the AC alternator.

Maintenance schedules and procedures are

outlined in the generator owner’s manual;

follow them exactly.

! WARNING

FIRE/EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION

HAZARD!

Fumes from flammable solvents can

cause fire, explosion or asphyxiation

resulting in death or serious injury.

DO NOT use flammable solvents to

clean the bilge.
