Engines

Proper engine maintenance is essential to the proper performance and reliability of your outboard

engines. Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your engine owner's manual.

They should be followed exactly.

If the boat is used in saltwater, flush the cooling systems after each daily use. To flush the systems

when the boat is out of the water, follow the procedure outlined in your engine owner's manual.

The age of gasoline can affect engine performance. Chemical changes occur as the gasoline ages

that can cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system as well as reduce the octane rating of the

fuel. Severely degraded fuel can damage the engine and boat fuel tank and lines. Therefore, if

your boat is not being run enough to require at least one full tank of fresh fuel a month, a fuel

stabilizer should be added to the gasoline to protect the fuel from degradation. Your dealer or

the engine manufacturer can provide additional information on fuel degradation and fuel

stabilizers recommended for your engine.

Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives. Gasoline that is an alcohol blend will absorb moisture

from the air which can reach such concentrations that "phase separation" can occur whereby the

water and alcohol mixture becomes heavy enough to settle out of the gasoline to the bottom of

the tank. Since the fuel pick up tube is very near the bottom of the tank, phase separation can cause

the engine to run very poorly or not at all. This condition is more severe with methyl alcohol and

will worsen as the alcohol content increases. Water or a jelly like substance in the fuel filters are

an indication of possible phase separation from the use of alcohol blended fuels.

12.2 Upholstery, Canvas and Enclosures

Vinyl Upholstery

The vinyl upholstery used on the exterior seats and bolsters, and for the headliner in some cabins,

should be cleaned periodically with soap and water. Any stain, spill or soiling should be cleaned

up promptly to prevent the possibility of permanent staining. When cleaning, always rub gently.

Avoid using products containing ammonia, powdered abrasive cleaners, steel wool, ink, strong

solvents, acetone and lacquer solvents or other harsh chemicals as they can cause permanent

damage or shorten the life of vinyl. Never use steam heat, heat guns or hair dryers on vinyl.

Stronger cleaners, detergents and solvents may be effective in stain removal, but can cause either

immediate damage or slow deterioration. Lotions, sun tan oil, waxes and polishes, etc., contains

oils and dyes that can cause stiffening and staining of vinyls.

• Dry soil, dust and dirt - Remove with a soft cloth.

• Dried on dirt - Wash with a soft cloth dampened with water.

• Variations in surface gloss - Wipe with a water dampened soft cloth and allow to air dry.

• Stubborn dirt - Wash with a soft cloth dampened with Ivory Flakes

and water. Rinse with

clean water.
