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 aect
the selection of paint. Be sure to follow the paint manufacturer’s
directions exactly.
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 component or engine failure.
Such failure may result in death or serious injury!
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.
