Boats operated continuously in salt water should be equipped with
a closed cooling system to preserve engine life.
MARINE GROWTH
If accelerated marine growth is a problem in the area in which the
boat will generally be operated, an anti-fouling bottom paint may
be necessary to slow growth while protecting the gel coat. Before
selecting a bottom paint, talk with other boaters and an authorized
MasterCraft dealer’s service department to determine the product
that works best in the area. Many local variables may also affect
the selection of paint. Be sure to follow the paint manufacturer’s
directions exactly.
STAINLESS STEEL AND CHROME/
ANODIZED ALUMINUM
Stainless steel, chrome-plated and anodized aluminum parts are
not totally resistant to corrosion. Occasional cleaning and polishing
with a marine chrome-and-stainless polish will maintain and extend
the life of these parts. In salt water areas, it is imperative that you
thoroughly rinse all hardware with fresh water and apply a light
coating of protective oil to enhance the appearance after each use.
Exposure to salt water will cause corrosion leading to significant
damage to stainless steel, chrome and anodized aluminum parts.
Failure to thoroughly rinse salt water from all hardware, and to apply
protective oil after each exposure to salt water, will accelerate the
corrosion of hardware and will void your warranty.
