Be sure all fasteners used are approved and
rated for marine use. Most fasteners used
on MasterCraft boats are stainless steel or
specially coated to resist corrosion.
Use of improper parts may cause compo-
nent or engine failure. Such failure may
result in death or serious injury!
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 stain-
less steel, chrome and anodized aluminum
parts. Failure to thoroughly rinse salt wa-
ter from all hardware, and to apply protec-
tive oil after each exposure to salt water, will accelerate the corrosion
of hardware and will void your warranty.
