Welcome Aboard

This manual has been prepared to assist you in theoperation and care of your Maxum boat. Please readthrough it completely, as familiarization with its contentscan contribute to the safe and effective operation of yourboat.

Your Maxum boat is part of a carefully engineered,.power-matched Full Value Package. It has been pairedwith a motor and trailer designed to provide optiinumperformance and utility. Installation of a different motor orother accessories, such as trim tabs, may cause undesirablehandling characteristics. Should you choose to have adifferent motor installed, or to add accessories that willaffect the boat's running trim, have an experienced marinetechnician perform a safety inspection and a handling testbefore operating your boat by yourself again.

Your boat's mechanical and electrical systems weredesigned to meet safety standards in effect at the time theboat was constructed. Some of these standards weremandated by Federal law, others are considered industrynorms. All of them were designed to insure your safety,and the safety of other people, vessels and property aroundyou. To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat,only qualified people should perform maintenance on,

or in any way modify, the steering system, propulsionsystem, engine control system, fuel system, environ­mental control system, or electrical system. Failure tomaintain these systems as designed could violate Federallaw, and could expose you and other people to the dangerof bodily injury or accidental death. We recommend thatyou follow the instructions provided in this handbook, inthe engine owner's manual, and in the accessory instructionsheets included with your boat, motor and trailer package.We also recommend that you perform the following steps:

1. Make certain that you receive a full explanation of allsystems from the dealer before taking delivery of yourboat. Your selling dealer is your key to service. If youexperience any problems with your new Maxum,immediately contact the dealership. If for any reasonyour selling dealer is unable to help, call us direct onour customer service hotline for assistance. Thenumber is (206) 435-8957.

2. Read this manual thoroughly, paying particularattention to the subjects of fueling, checking for

PREPARATION

Prior to leaving on your first outing (or, for that matter,any outing) there are certain items to check and activities toperform. Familiarize yourself with your boat whiledockside, and consider the following suggestions:

Recommendations for Safety

1. Personal Flotation Devices:One Coast Guard approved personal flotation device(PFD) of suitable size is required for each personaboard a recreational boat. New PFDs bearing CoastGuard approval are now identified as Types I, II, ill, orIV.

Requirements for boats sixteen feet (16') or over inlength: One (1) Type I, II, or ill (wearable) PPD foreach person on board, and one (1) Type IV (throwable)PFD in each boat.

2. Always have children wear PFDs. Always check thosedevices intended for young children for fit and per­formance in the water. Never hesitate to have "allhands" wear lifesaving devices whenever circum­stances cause the slightest doubt about safety.

3. Do not overload or improperly load your boat. Main­tain adequate freeboard at all times. Consider the seaconditions, the duration of the trip, the weather and theexperience of the personnel on board.

Do not allow anyone to :ride on parts of the boatthat were not designed for such use. Sitting upon seat backs, bow riding, gunwale riding, orlounging on forward sundeck cushions whileunderway can be especially hazardous.

4. Falls are the greatest cause of injury both afloat andashore. Eliminate tripping hazards where possible,make conspicuous those that must remain, and requirethat everybody on board wear proper footwear.

5. Understand the meanings of navigation buoys, andnever moor to one. (It is a Federal offense.)

6. Know the various distress signals. A recognizeddistress signal used on small boats is to slowly andrepeatedly raise and lower the arms outstretched toeach side.

20. Boat hooks are valuable when docking or when neededto retrieve objects that have fallen overboard.

21. Keep electrical equipment and wiring in good condi­tion. No knife switches or other arcing devices shouldbe installed in fuel compartments. Allow ampleventilation around batteries.

22. Good housekeeping in your boat is important. Cleanli­ness diminishes the probability of fire.

23. Know your fuel tank capacity and cruising range. If itis necessary to carry additional fuel, do so only inproper containers. Take special precautions to preventthe accumulation of fuel vapors in confined spaces.

24. Before departing on a boat trip, advise a responsiblefriend or relative about where you intend to cruise. Besure to give that person a good description ofyourboat. Keep them advised of any changes in your cruiseplans. These precautions will enable your friend orrelative to tell the Coast Guard where to search for youand what type of boat to look for if you fail to return.Be sure to advise the same person when you completeyour trip to prevent any false alarms about your safety.

25. Your local United States Coast Guard Auxiliary andthe United States Power Squadrons offer safe boating

classes several times a year. These are comprehensivecourses and are generally of minimal cost to you. Callyour local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or PowerSquadron Flotilla for the time and place of their nextclass.

Static Float Attitude

The static floating attitude of your boat can be affectedby many yariables. Optional equipment and loading of gearare the biggest contributors to a boat's list. After launch­ing, the floating attitude of any new boat can be adjusted.

If your boat lists to one side, load heavy items on theopposite side until the boat floats more level. Load theremainder of your gear evenly after that.

Other Tips

1. When commissioning a new boat, do not plan anextensive trip Of party until you have had a shakedowncruise to m~e sure all equipment on your boat isfunctioning properly and you are familiar with itsoperation.

2. Use big fenders or fender boards to protect your boat'shull whenever mooring next to floats, piers, or otherboats.

3. Carry plenty of line that is properly sized to your boat.We suggest at least two 30' lengths of 3/8" nylon line.

TRAILERING

An important part of your recreational boat package isyour Escort trailer, which was specifically designed foryour boat. We recommend that you read your TrailerOwner's Manual thoroughly and become familiar with your

trailer's features before towing or launching your boat. Thefollowing information highlights several things you willwant to consider when trailering your boat.

1. Check the wheel bearings for smooth operation andproper amount of grease before and after the firstseveral times you tow your trailer. Make it a habit tocheck the bearings at least every 90 days after that.Also, you'll want to clean, inspect and repack thebearings with grease before storing your trailer over thewinter, or any other time you plan to store the trailerfor an extended period of time. Make it a habit to feelthe wheel hubs each time you stop for gas or refresh­ments. If the hub feels abnormally hot, it 'may indicatebearing trouble. Allow the hub to cool and inspect thebearings to determine the problem. It is wise to have a·spare set of wheel bearings, races, seals and cotter keysin case you need to replace them on the road.

2. Check that the tires are properly inflated for the loadthe trailer will be carrying prior to each trip. Underin­flated tires will heat up rapidly and tire damage islikely to occur. You should carry a spare wheel andtire, which also should be checked for proper inflationbefore each trip. Don't forget to bring along a jack andany tools necessary for changing the tire.

9

10

3. Check the wheel lug nuts for security before each trip.

4. Check the trailer's brakes for proper operation prior toeach trip. Consult your state laws for trailer brakerequirements and make sure your trailer is properlyequipped (laws vary from state to state).

5. Check the trailer's undercarriage for loose parts. Alsocheck the springs for proper operation or possibledamage.

6. Examine the wire harness connector plug for corrosionor broken prongs. Once you have hooked the trailer toyour tow vehicle, perform a functional test of the brakelights to verify that they work properly when the brakepedal is depressed. Also check that tum signals andback-up lights (if so equipped) function properly. Notethat some autos will require heavy-duty flasher units tomake tum signals operate properly, so you may wish toconsult your auto dealer's service department for theirrecommendations.

7. Prepare your boat for trailering by closing all cabinwindows and doors. Make sure the motor or stemdrive is tilted into the manufacturer's recommendedtrailering position. If your boat's motor features atrailering bracket, install it now. Canvas tops are not

designed to withstand the loads created by highwayspeeds, so take down all tops, 'side curtains, and slantor camper covers. Stow them in a secure location sothey won't blowout of the boat while on the highway.Make sure the rest of your equipment is distributedevenly and stowed securely. The load should bebalanced, as too much or too little weight on thetrailer's tongue will cause difficult steering and towvehicle sway. A rough rule of thumb is that 5% to10% of the boat and trailer weight should rest on thetongue.

8. Check the condition of towing safety chains, transomtie-down straps and winch cables. Replace any thatappear worn or unsafe. Your boat should be fastenedto the trailer by a line or cable from the winch to theboat's bow eye and a safety chain from the winchstand or trailer tongue to the boat's bow eye. Thetransom straps should be fastened from the left andright trailer frame members to the boat's transom­mounted trailering eyes. Check that the straps aresnugged down securely. Note that the transom tie­down straps and winch cables are designed for normaltowing conditions on paved roads and fairly smoothsecondary roads (at slow speeds only). They should·not be relied upon for any lifting application. Also, werecommend the use of additional straps or rope tie-

downs for securing your boat to the trailer, especiallyfor longer trips or whenever you expect to encounterrough roads. If in doubt, use extra straps.

Once all your safety checks have been completed, youwill be ready to head for the water. However, we highlyrecommend that you tow your boat to a nearby emptyparking lot fIrst and practice maneuvering your trailer untilyou feel comfortable with it. It helps to have someone todirect you any time you are backing the trailer. If your towvehicle is not already so equipped, consider installing aright side mirror for improved rearward visibility.

Your tow vehicle will take longer to accelerate and willrequire more distance to slow down when trailering a boat.Don't tailgate the vehicle ahead of you, as you'll risk"jackknifing" if you should have to stop in an emergency.Open up your following distance from the normal twosecond interval to at least three or four seconds betweenyour vehicle and the one ahead. Allow even more space inrainy or icy conditions, or at night. Remember to swingwide as you tum to avoid cutting the corner; avoid makingany sharp turns.

Launching

When you arrive at the launching ramp and are readyto float your boat off the trailer, make these basic checks tobe certain that the launching is a safe operation.

1. Disconnect the trailer's wire harness connector plugfrom the tow vehicle. This will greatly reduce thechance of blowing out your trailer lights when theybecome submerged.

2. Feel the trailer's wheel hubs to check for hot bearings.Submerging hot hubs in cold water causes water to bedrawn into the bearing caps, so it is best to allow thehubs to cool before proceeding with the launching.

3. Install the hull drain plug at the bottom of the transom.Make sure you tighten it securely. 11

12

Failure to install the drain plug securelywill result in the boat filling with waterand sinking when it is launched.

4. Remove and stow the transom trailering straps.Remove the safety chain from the bow eye. In order tomaintain control of the boat as it iS,launched, secure amooring line of adequate length to the boat's bow cleatand have someone wearing their life jacket hold theother end of the line as you back the trailer into thewater.

5. Carefully back the trailer down the ramp until the boatfloats free. The idea is to back the trailer far enoughinto the water to float the boat, but not so far that yousubmerge the back end of the tow vehicle. If you arelaunching the boat yourself, remember to set the towvehicle's emergency brake, place the transmission inPARK (for manual transmissions, shift to FIRST gearand shut the engine OFF), and block both front tiresbefore leaving the vehicle.

6. Loosen the winch and release the winch cable from thebow eye. Tie your boat to the dock with the line fromthe bow cleat. Immediately board the boat and inspect

the lower compartments, ski locker and bilge areas forany sign of leakage. If you find'that the boat is takingon water, immediately guide the boat back to the trailerand remove it from the water (see reloading instruc­tions that follow). Pull away from the ramp so othersmight use it and locate the problem before relaunchingthe boat. If you cannot find the cause of the leakage,notify your selling dealer for further assistance.

7. Once your boat is tied off and you have verified that itis not leaking, carefully pull your trailer clear of thewater and park your tow vehicle in an appropriatedesignated area. Then proceed with starting the boat'smotor as instructed in the engine owner's manual.

Reloading

1. To reload your boat onto the trailer, back the trailerinto the water until about two-thirds of the bunkassembly is submerged. Don't forget to set the towvehicle's emergency brake, place the transmission inPARK (for manual transmissions, shift to FIRST gearand shut the engine OFF), and block both front tiresbefore leaving the vehicle. Passengers should disem­bark prior to retrieval of the boat.

2. An experienced operator should carefully motor theboat onto the partially submerged trailer at idle speed.

Exercise extreme caution when approaching the trailer.DO NOT power the boat all the way up onto the trailerbunks, as this can cause damage to the boat, motor ortrailer. As you proceed forward slowly, the trailerbunks will guide your boat onto the trailer far enoughto allow someone to hook the winch cable to the boat'sbow eye after you have placed the boafs shifter in theNEUTRAL position and shut down the motor. Use thewinch to apply enough tension on the cable to hold theboat in place.

3. Tilt the motor or stern drive up to the trailering positionso it won't be damaged when the boat is pulled up ontothe trailer.

4. Make sure nobody is standing between the boat's bowand the winch, then use the winch to pull the boat ontothe trailer until its bow rests against the trailer's bowstop roller.

5. Secure the bow safety chain from the winch stand ortrailer tongue to the boat's bow eye. After makingcertain that all bystanders are out of the way, removethe wheel blocks, release the tow vehicle's emergencybrake, and tow the boat clear of the launch ramp soothers may use it.

6. Keeping in mind the trailering inspection itemsmentioned previously, prepare your boat and trailer forthe road. Don't forget to remove the drain plug andstore it in a safe place; this will allow the water toempty from the boat as you travel home. Also remem­ber to install your motor's trailering bracket, if yourmotor is so equipped.

7. Refer to your Trailer Owner's Manual for maintenanceand storage details, as well as more specific informa­tion concerning other aspects of trailering.

OPERATING

Fueling Procedures

Fuel vapors are explosive and can become trappedin the lower portions of a boat. While fueling, aUdoors, hatches, and portlights must be closed.

13

14

Do not use fuels that incorporate any form ofalcohol or alcohol derivatives. Alcohol destroysmarine fuel system hoses and components, whichcould lead to hazardous leaks, fire or explosion.

Internal "Built-In" Fuel Tank

1. If you're going to fuel your boat while it's in the water,be sure it's securely moored to the dock.

2. Turn off all electrical equipment including engines,appliances, bilge blower, lights, etc.

3. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars or other items that mayproduce a spark or flame.

4. Close all openings including hatches, windows, doors,and portlights.

5. Through-deck fittings are provided for fuel tank filling.Remove the cap and insert the fuel supply nozzle,allowing the nozzle to maintain contact with the fitting;this will prevent possible static sparking.

6. Oftentimes you won't be able to fill the fuel tank to100% of its dry-rated capacity. This is because theamount of fuel the tank will hold depends, in part, onthe boat's floating attitude, which in turn affects theposition of the fuel tank and its venting system. If fuelflows out the tank vent on the side of the boat, discon­tllue fueling immediately. The tank will be as full aspossible under the current conditions. It is not advis­able to overfill the tank, as you want to allow forthermal expansion of the fuel, especially on very hotdays.

7. If, when filling the tank, you can't put fuel in at areasonable rate, check the fuel vent line to see that it'snot kinked or plugged.

8. When you have finished fueling, replace the fill capand wash off any fuel spillage.

9. Open the engine compartment and all windows, doors,and hatches; inspect, both visually and by smell, forfuel fumes or leakage. Any sign of fuel leakage, or anyindication of fumes, must be investigated and correctedprior to starting the engine.

NOTE: The listed capacities are the dryvolume capacity of the tank. Each tank isvented internally to allow air to escape asthe tank is filled. A portion of the volumewill include air trapped inside the tank;therefore it is not usually possible to fill theboat's fuel tank to its dry volume capacity

Portable Fuel Tank

1. Remove the tank from the boat for filling.

2. Follow the instructions in the engine manual for theproper ratio and type of lubricating oil to be mixedwith the gas.

3. Before placing the tank back in the boat, wash off anyspilled fuel.

4. Some portable tanks have vent screws which must beopen during engine operation.

Starting

The engine operating and maintenance manualfurnished with your boat describes prestart and startingprocedures. The following notes are basic reminders, andare not intended to cover every detail of starting. We urgeyou to thoroughly read and understand your engine manual.

1. Check the lubricating and cooling fluid levels.

2. Visually check for fuel, oil, coolant, and exhaust leaks.

9. DO NOT continuously operate the starter for morethan 15 seconds at a time. Allow at least three minutesfor cooling between start attempts.

10. Warning alarms may activate upon engine start. Thesedevices are intended to call your attention to thecondition of one or more of the engine's subsystems.Generally, there are two times when warning alarmswill sound. The first is upon initial engine start, wherethe alarm will sound from about 7 to 14 seconds. Thisindicates that the warning system is working so that if amalfunction occurs later, you can be fairly certain thealarm will sound again to alert you to the problem.The other situation where you'll hear an alarm is whenthere is actually something wrong with one of theengine subsystems. Conditions causing an alarm tosound are things like high engine coolant temperature,low engine oil pressure, or low oil level in either thestem drive unit or oil injection supply bottle. Theexact meaning of each alarm varies depending on theengine manufacturer, and not every engine has all ofthe alarms mentioned above. We recommend that yourefer to the engine owner's manual that came with yourmotor for more specific information.

11. On boats so equipped, check the oil pressure, voltmeterand temperature gauges immediately after the engine

starts. Also inspect the engine compartment for fuel,cooling, or exhaust system leaks that were not apparentbefore you started the motor.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that iscolorless, odorless and heavier than air. It canaccumulate in the lower regions of the boat indangerous concentrations if proper ventilation isnot provided. A person breathing these fumescould become seriously ill or even suffocate.Always run the bilge blower and open windows orhatches whenever the engine is idling. Also, neveroperate the engine when either the slant cover orthe camper cover is installed.

12. Once the motor has been started, allow it towarm-up for several minutes before gettingunderway.

13. Check steering operation by turning the steering wheelfull port and starboard while observing the outboard oroutdrive movement.

Before You Leave

Provided you have not encountered any problems, youare almost ready to go. (If you did encounter problems, donot attempt to operate your boat until they are corrected.)Before you leave, perform the following steps:

1. Check the operation of equipment such as bilge pumps,running lights, wipers, radios, etc.

2. Instruct passengers in the use and location of flotationdevices and fire extinguishers.

3. Obtain a reliable weather forecast and plan accordinglyfor everyone's comfort and safety.

4. Notify a responsible friend or relative of your cruiseplans. Upon your return or a change in your cruiseschedule, notify that person again in order to avoidunnecessary concern.

Maneuvering

When all of your predeparture checks have beencompleted, you will be ready to leave the dock.

Basic Maneuvering

Your boat features a fIdeep-vee fI planing hull that hasseveral handling characteristics you should be aware of.

Steering the boat at either idling or cruising speeds willgenerally require minimal effort. However, operating at aspeed just below that required to get the hull on plane mayproduce excessive steering torque. This is a normalcondition, though you should not continue to operate theboat at this speed. Instead, continue accelerating until theboat is on plane, where the amount of steering torque willreturn to normal.

Your boat may wander slightly from port to starboardwhen operating at idle speed in forward gear. This is anatural characteristic of deep-vee hulls and shouldn't because for concern. Simply correct for this wander withsmall steering adjustments until you get up to cruisingspeed. Avoid the tendency to over correct for a wanderingcondition.

Another characteristic you may notice is that the helmwheel may pull in one direction or the other, depending onwhether the boat is traveling in forward or reverse gear.This is caused by the torque of the propeller's rotation,

which causes the stern of the boat to be pulled to one side aspower increases, especially when starting from a fullystopped position. Again, this is a normal condition that maybe minimized by adjusting the steering torque tab of theoutboard motor or sterndrive. Boats with power steering donot require a steering torque tab. See your engine owner'smanual for detailed information. Practicing maneuvers atslow speeds will help you to become familiar with all thespecial handling characteristics associated with your boat.

Do not attempt any maintenance or adjustmentsto the motor or outdrive unit while the motor isrunning. Failure to shut off the motor formaintenance or adjustments may cause injury ordeath.

Remember that all boats steer by the stem (the feelingis much like steering your automobile in reverse). Thismeans that the stem of your boat will swing in the directionopposite to your tum. For example, when you turn the helmwheel to the left, the stern of the boat will swing to the rightas the boat goes into a left turn. This is especially importantto keep in mind when docking, when operating in closequarters with other boats, or when approaching a swimmeror downed skier in the water.

Always use extreme caution when approaching

someone in the water. Approach them at idle speed only,allowing your stem to swing away from them as you getclose. Place the shifter in NEUTRAL and shut off theboat's motor when you are still several feet from the personin the water. While they are swimming over to the boat,lower the swim ladder from the transom platform so theycan board. Once everyone is aboard, return the swimladder to its stowed position and check that everyone issafely seated before restarting the motor. If you areurtfamiliar with picking up swimmers in the water, practicethis maneuver with a retrievable floating object beforeattempting it under actual conditions.

Boats have no brakes. Stopping is accomplished bybacking down on the throttle. Once the boat has slowedand the motor is idling, place the shifter in REVERSE.Gradually increasing reverse power with the throttle willallow you to stop the boat in a very short distance. Notethat a boat will not respond"to steering in reverse nearly aswell as it does.when going forward, so do not expect toaccomplish tight turning maneuvers when backing up.

Once you are away from the dock, devote some time tolearning how to maneuver.

e Practice docking by using an imaginary dock... Practice stopping and reversing... When operating in close quarters or docking, all

maneuvering should be done at idle speed.19

· 20

Proceed with caution in congested areas." Gradually increase your speed. Get used to the

boat before attempting any full throttle operation.

Docking

Preparation:Proper docking requires preparation. Start by making

sure you have adequate mooring gear, and that it is stowedcorrectly and ready for use. Your dealer is the best sourcefor information concerning the amount and type of equip­ment you should carry.

Approaching the Dock:When approaching a mooring area, lower your speed

within a reasonable distance to allow your wake to subsidebefore it reaches other boats or docks. As you get close toyour moorage, check for any wind or current action thatmay affect your maneuver; then make a conservativeapproach with these factors in mind. Try to use theelements to your advantage. Allow them to carry the boatinto the dock. If there are high winds or strong currents, itis best to approach the moorage from the lee side. With amild current and little or no wind, it is best to approachfrom the windward side. While approaching, check to seethat all lines are attached to the cleats on. the side facing themoorage. Also insure that fenders are lowered on that side.Be sure to check that the fenders are hung at the properheight.

As you approach your moorage, it is desirable to haveone person at the bow and one at the stern of the boat, eachwith a boat hook and a mooring line attached to a cleat.Approach at idle RPM at an angle approximately 45degrees to the dock. When the bow is within a few feet ofthe dock (starboard side) the stern can be brought alongsidethe moorage by turning hard to port. Next, tum to star­board and at idle RPM put the boat into REVERSE. Thiswill stop the boat and bring the stem even closer to thedock. These steps are reversed for docking to port.

'I

Mooring:To attach lines to deck cleats, make a loop in one end

of the line and pass it through the hole in the base of thecleat; then pass the loop back over the entire cleat. The linecan now be used to secure your boat. Lines may be keptthis way while underway as long as they are coiled andcannot become fouled in deck gear or props. In heavy seaconditions, all lines should be removed from the deck.

Whenever you are towing another boat, or havingyour boat towed, make sure the towline is fastenedsecurely to the bow or transom towing eyes only.Never attach a towline to deck cleats orthe anchorwindlass (if so equipped), as serious injury mayresult if the cleats or windlass pull free from thedeck. Also, to reduce the danger created by apotential failure of the towline, everyone should staywell clear of the towline attachment points on boththe towing and the towed boats.

Leaving the Dock:·Take into account wind, tide, current, and other forces

that affect your maneuvering as you leave the dock. Mostmaneuvering to and from a dock is best accomplished atidle speeds.

Do not forget to release the mooring lines and stow thefenders.

When leaving a moorage on your starboard side andyour bow cannot be pushed away from the dock first, startforward with the helm wheel turned to starboard for two orthree feet. Then shift to REVERSE with steering full toport. Repeat if necessary to get the stern far enough awayfrom the dock so you can back clear of any other boats thatmay be moored ahead of you. (Reverse steering wheeldirections when leaving a dock located to port.)

Boat Performance

Boat speeds are affected by a great many factors.Some, such as temperature and altitude, you cannot change,but some factors you can:

1. Loading: Take only necessary equipment with you.Keep weight low in the boat and balanced.

2. Propeller: Keep it in good repair and at the COlTectpitch for your particular situation. The factory stand­ard equipment propeller may not be the best for yourparticular boat and load conditions. If the engine RPMat full throttle is greater or less than its maximumrating, ask your Maxum dealer about trying a differentprop.

21

22

A slightly bent or nicked propeller will-adversely affectthe performance of your boat.

3. Weeds, barnacles and other growth: Keep your boat'sbottom clean. When your boat starts "growing grass",it will slow down greatly.

Boat Running Attitude

1. If your boat runs with its bow too high at cruisingspeeds, the following suggestions will help you achievea more correct cruising attitude:

e Move some weight forward in the boat.e Adjust the thrust angle of the engine (reduce the

distance between the bottom of the transom and thedrive unit). See your engine owner's manual fortrimming instructions.

2. If your boat runs with its bow too low at cruisingspeeds (usually indicated by water coming off the hullfar forward and steering difficulty or veering offcourse), you can raise the bow by performing steps·opposite of those above.

Steering Pressure

As mentioned earlier in the basic maneuvering section,the boat's steering will usually pull to one side or the otherto some degree. This effect is caused by the torque reactionof the propeller. Most motors have a trim tab that can beadjusted so there is very little pull on the helm wheel at onegiven speed or trim angle. This is done by setting the trimtab on the lower unit of the motor in the direction the wheelis pulling. Small adjustments should be made until thesteering has neutral torque (does not pull in either direction)at the speed you desire. We suggest adjusting it for yournormal cruising speed. When running faster or slower thanthis speed, a small amount of steering pressure will alwaysbe present and is considered normal.

Do not attempt any maintenance or adjustmentsto the motor or outdrive unit while the motor isrunning. Failure to shut off the motor formaintenance or adjustments may cause injury ordeath.

Instruments

While under way, instruments should be checkedfrequently i_or possible indications of trouble.

1. Tachometer-A tachometer is an electrical instrumentthat ind~cates engine revolutions per minute (RPM).The tachometer is useful for monitoring engine speedto avoid exceeding the maximum RPM rating. Inaddition, it can be used to detect performance changesby comparing speedometer readings at various RPMs.

2. Temperature Gauge-The temperature gauge indicatesengine coolant temperature by monitoring a signalfrom a sending unit installed in the engine water jacket.When the gauge reads in the danger area, shut off theengine and diagnose the problem. A common cause ofoverheating is picking up a foreign object in theseawater intake. Usually, raising and lowering your'Illotor or outdrive will free it. Backing up in reversegear, then pulling ahead in forward gear for 10-15 feetis helpful, too.

3. Oil Pressure Gauge-The oil pressure gauge indicatesengine lubricating oil pressure. Low oil pressurereadings are generally caused by low oil quantity. Inany case, immediately shut down the engine anddiagnose the problem.

4. Fuel Gauge-The fuel gauge indicates approximatefuel level. Since boats are exposed to rough waterconditions and varying degrees of trim, it is usually notpossible to fill the fuel tank to 100% of its dry-ratedcapacity. Therefore, fuel gauges may seem to provideinaccurate readings at times. It is always good to keeptrack of the amount of fuel you pump aboard, as wellas your running time and estimated fuel usage as adouble check against an inaccurate gauge.

5. Compass-.Your boat may come equipped with acompass for use in marine navigation. Many factorsaffect the operation of your compass, such as localmagnetic variation and deviation (induced needledeflection caused by metal components and theoperation of electrical equipment aboard your boat).Each compass must be "swung" (compensated) toadjust for individual boat characteristics, and for theparticular compass installation. It is vitally important,therefore, that you have your compass professionallyswung before using it for marine navigation. YourMaxum dealer can refer you to local shops thatperform this work.

COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS

Electrical System

To reduce the risk of electric shock, only qualifiedpersonnel should install batteries and performelectrical system maintenance. You can minimize thedanger of fire and explosion by not exposing thebatteries to open flame or sparks. It is also importantthat no one smoke anywhere near the batteries.Because fuel fumes are heavier than air, they willcoHect in the bilge areas where they can be accidentlyignited. Operating the bilge blower for at least fourminutes prior to engine starting, electrical systemmaintenance, or activation of electrical devices willdecrease the danger of fire and explosion.

Although Maxum manufactures different models ofpowerboats, the electrical systems on all models operate onthe same basic theory.

1. Battery:The key to a good marine electrical system is thebattery. (The batteries are dealer-installed items.)Maxum makes the following recommendations onbattery rating:

Outboard Models - 400 cold crankingamps minimum

Stern Drive Models - 500 cold crankingamps mllliillum

L-Drive Models - 500 cold crankingamps mmlillum

On some models the condition of the battery can beread on the voltmeter when the ignition switch is in theON position.

With the engine not rul1l1ing, voltmeter readings in the11.5 to 12.5-volt range are considered normal. Read­ings in the 10 to 11.5-volt range indicate a marginalcharge condition. Readings below 10 volts indicate aseriously discharged condition.

With the engine fUl1l1ing (over 1500 RPM), voltmeterreadings of 13 to 14 volts are considered normal.Readings below this indicate a severely dischargedbattery or a nonfunctioning charging system.

Check the battery electrolyte level regularly.Remove the caps on top of the battery and observe thelevel of the fluid inside. If the zinc plates are exposed,add distilled water until they are covered again.Corroded terminals can impair battery performanceand charging ability. Clean them with baking sodaand water; then coat them with a preservative or a light

film of grease. Be sure all battery connections aretight. When storing the boat, it is best to remove thebattery, give it a full charge, and store it inside awayfrom extreme temperatures. Note that you shouldnever disconnect battery cables or turn the mainbattery switch(es) to the OFF position while themotor is running, as this can cause damage to yourboat's electrical components, and possibly couldshock you.

2. Fuses and Circuit Breakers:On all stern drive models the engine and accessorycircuits are protected by a large circuit breaker or fuselocated on the engine. In addition, each US Marinepower-tilt motor is protected by an external (manualreset) fuse as well as an internal breaker (resetsautomatically approximately 3-5 minutes after over­load).

Fuse blocks on most models are located behind theinstrument panel. Wires are color coded to indicatewhich accessory each fuse services. Some items, suchas radios and bilge pumps may be fused individually atthe unit.

Fuel System

It is very important that the fuel system beinspected thoroughly the first time it is filledand then at each subsequent filling. For yoursafety and the safety of your passengers, thefueling instructions in this manual must befollowed.

1. Fuel Fills and Vents:Fuel fills are located either on the aft deck or on theside decks adjacent to the aft cockpit. Fuel receptaclecaps are marked "Fuel" or "Gas". Fuel vents arenormally located in the hull or transom below and inthe same general area as the fill. If you experiencedifficulty filling the fuel tank, check to see that the fuelfIll and vent lines are free of obstructions and kinks.

2. Antisiphon Valves:As required by the U.S. Coast Guard, the fuel systemson stern drive boats are equipped with an antisiphonvalve. This valve is an integral part of the barb fittingon the fuel tank to which the neoprene fuel lineattaches. The valve is spring loaded and is opened byfuel pump pressure. These valves will prevent gasolinefrom siphoning from the fuel tank in the event of a fuelline rupture. 25

26

NOTICEIf an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuelstarvation, the antisiphon valve should bechecked. In the event the valve is stuck orclogged, it should be cleaned or replaced while theengine is shut down. Under no circumstancesshould it be removed except in an emergency.

3. Fuel Filters:All fuel tanks are equipped with a fine mesh screenfilter on the fuel pick-up tube in the tank. In addition,when supplied by the motor manufacturer, an addi­tional filter is installed on the engine. Fuel filtersshould be checked periodically to see that they areclean and free of debris.

Avoid the storage or handling of gear near thefuel lines, fittings and tank.

Starter Motor

The engine starter motor is designed to deliver highhorsepower for onIy very short periods of time. Avoidoperation for more than 15 seconds at a time. Due to itshigh horsepower, this motor builds up considerable heatand can be permanently damaged with prolonged use. Ifitdoes not operate, check the battery charge and all directwiring for shorts or loose connections. If excess bilgewater is allowed to accumulate, the starter can be damagedin stern drive models. Automatic bilge pumps are recom­mended for boats left in open moorage.

Bilge Blower

The bilge blower removes fumes from the enginecompartment and draws fresh air into the compartmentthrough the deck vents.

To insure fresh air circulation, the bilge blower is to beused before starting the engine, during starting, and whilethe boat is operating below cruising speed. Operate theblower for at least four minutes before starting the engine.

Operation of the blower is NOT A GUARANTEEthat explosive fumes have been removed. Ifyousmell any fuel, shut off the engine and all electricalaccessories and investigate immediately.

BHgePump

The electric bilge pump supplied with your Maxum isan impeller-type pump. It is controlled by a switch on thedash panel, which should be activated whenever waterbegins to accumulate in the bilge. Some models will alsohave an automatic bilge pump switch ("autofloat switch")mounted next to the pump. This is a float-type switch thatwill activate the bilge pump automatically whenever bilgewater accumulates above a pre-set leveL It is wired directlyto the battery so it will normally function even when theboat is completely shut down and unattended, such as whenthe boat is moored at a marina.

Operation of the bilge pump should be checkedfrequently. To check the bilge pump, activate the dash­mounted switch and verify that any water in the bilge ispumped overboard. Ifbilge water is present and the pumpmotor is running but not pumping, check to see if the pumpis clogged with debris. Squeeze the two holding tabs on theside of the pump housing inward and pop the pump's upperhousing off. If the pump's strainer well is clear but thepump still does not move water, check the discharge hosefor kinks or a collapsed area.

The autofloat switch should also be checked frequentlyfor proper operation, if your boat is so equipped. Squeezethe two holding tabs on the. side of the switch housinginward and pop the upper housing off. Remove any debris

you find in the strainer well. Then raise the float to verify ithas full up and down movement. As you raise the float toits full up position, the bilge pump should turn on andempty all bilge water overboard. If raising the float doesnot switch the pump on, check the in-line fuse in the wirebetween the switch and the battery to make sure it has notblown. If the fuse is good, but the switch still does notwork, it usually indicates a bad switch, or possibly a lowbattery. In either case, call your dealership for furtherassistance.

NOTICEThe Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibitsthe discharge of oil or oil waste into or upon thenavigable waters and contiguous zone of theUnited States if such discharge causes a film orsheen upon, or discoloration of, the surface of thewater, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath thesurface of the water. Violators are subject to apenalty of $5000.

Navigation Lights

Although the navigation lights supplied with yourMaxum are of top quality, failure may occur for a variety ofreasons:

1. There may be a blown fuse. (Replace the fuse in theswitch panel.)

2. The bulb may be burned out. (Carry spare bulbs forreplacement.)

3. The bulb base may be corroded. (Clean the baseperiodically and coat it with nonconductive grease.)

4. A wire may have come loose or may be damaged.(Repair as required.)

NOTICEProlonged operation of cabin interior lights(overnight) will result in a dead battery. Beconservative in the use of battery power.

Transom Platform

1. Platform load must not exceed 250 pounds.

2. Periodically check the platform mounting hardware forlooseness and corrosion.

Portable Head

Be sure to read and carefully follow the manufacturer'sinstructions.

1. To Fill the Freshwater Tank:Remove the upper section from the lower section.Remove the fill cap and fill to the maximum waterlinelevel on the side of the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.DO NOT POUR WASTE TANK DEODORIZERINTO THE FRESHWATER TANK.

2. Before use, always check the pressure build-up bypulling out the flush handle slowly with the lid closed.It is necessary to pump liquid into the basin. Keep thebasin dry when not in use.

NOTICEUse only white toilet tissue, as colored dyes mayimpair the effectiveness of the chemical. Useregular ply tissue. Do not use disintegrating tissueas this may clog the entire pump system.

3. To Flush:Pull the holding tank flush valve handle straight out.To rinse the bowl, stroke the pump several times.Next, slowly push the valve handle straight in. Thiswill ensure a leakproof seal.

4. To Add Chemical Deodorizer:Pull the flush valve handle straight out so that the bowlclapper seal is completely open. Add 2 oz. of LiquidGold concentrate or Royal Gold powder directly intothe tanle Pump sufficient water through the bowlopening to cover the bottom surface of the lower tanle

NOTICEDo not add holding tank chemical to the upperfreshwater tank. Also, do not add odor controlchemical to the bowl while the bowl dapper seal isdosed.

5. Cleaning:Use only mild cleansers, detergents or soaps (avoidusing abrasive cleaners). Clean the toilet periodically.

6. To Empty:The unit is ready to be emptied when the contents ofthe holding tank approach a level of I" (2 em) belowthe surface of the bowl clapper seal.

Make sure the flush valve handle is closed. Disengageand remove the freshwater tank from the holding tank.Unscrew the holding tank cap while the tank is in ahorizontal position. Pull up on the air vent valve (red

cap located on the top, front, left-hand corner of thetank). Carefully empty the holding tank by graspingthe tank in the front and back and slowly tilting.

After emptying the tank, rinse with fresh water, replacethe cap, push the air vent valve closed, reassemble andrecharge the unit.

NOTICEThere are many brands of toilet chemicals, any ofwhich will work very well in any of the portabletoilets supplied by Maxum.

7. Winter Usage:For cold weather use, add a nontoxic winter protectorantifreeze to the freshwater supply tank to prevent itfrom freezing.

8. Storage:Empty both the water tank and the holding tank. Rinseout the holding tank with one cup of bleach (5%solution) per gallon (5 liters) of water.

AM/FM Cassette Stereo

The AM/FM cassette stereo that comes standard withyour Maxum has a separate brochure that explains itsoperating features. Note that AM radio reception may be

. impaired when the engine is running.

Depth Sounder

Your Maxum may come equipped with an electronicdepth sounder. It will provide you with measurements ofwater depth beneath the boat. In many cases it also willhelp you locate schools of fish. The depth sounder comeswith its own owner's manual. We suggest that you read itcarefully before turning on the unit.

The depth sounder should not be used as a navigationaid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage orpersonal injury. When the boat is moving, sub­merged objects will not be seen until they are alreadyunder the boat, or bottom depths may change tooquickly to allow time for the boat operator to react.Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if yoususpect shallow water or submerged objects.

Alcohol Stove

Some Maxum models come equipped with an alcoholstove. It is stored in a cabinet under the portside sleeperseat, where it is secured in position by a removable strap.The stove must be removed from the cabinet and should beplaced on the table which folds down from the cuddybulkhead before the burner is lighted. Always provideplenty of ventilation, and NEVER operate your stove whilethe boat's canvas covers are installed. Carefully read andfollow the manufacturer's operating instructions suppliedwith your stove, and observe the following:

1. Use only denatured alcohol labeled specifically formarine use.

2. Do not operate the stove while underway.

3. Do not fIll the stove near an open flame or hot object.

4. All spilled alcohol should be wiped up prior to lightingthe stove.

5. Don't put any cooking utensils on the stove until theburner is lit and functioning properly.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

ill addition to instructions found elsewhere in thismanual and in the literature specific to certain components,the following information is provided for general mainte­nance and repair.

Because conditions vary widely in different areas, andthe frequency and type of use can differ greatly betweenowners, intervals for maintenance are not listed here.Common sense should determine the frequency of mainte­nance.

Bilges/Engine Compartment

1. Pump the bilges dry and remove all loose dirt. Be surethat all limber holes are open. If there is oil in the bilgeand the source is not known, look for leaks in engineoil lines or engine gaskets. Oil stains can be removedby using a bilge cleaner available from your dealer or amarina. DO NOT use flammable solvents.

2. Check all wiring to be sure it is properly supported,that its insulation is intact, and that there are no looseor corroded terminals. If there are corroded terminals,they should be replaced or thoroughly cleaned withsandpaper. Tighten all terminals securely and spraythem with a light marine preservative oil.

3. illspect the entire fuel system (including fill lines andvents) for any evidence of leakage. Any stains aroundjoints could indicate a leak. Try a wrench on allfittings to be sure they are not loose, but do notovertighten them. Clean fuel filters and vent screens.

4. illspect the entire bottom for evidence of seepage,damage or deterioration, paying particular attention tohull fittings, hoses and clamps. Straighten kinkedhoses and replace any that do not feel pliable. Tightenloose hose clamps and replace those that are corroded.Tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws.

5. Refer to your engine operating manual for enginemaintenance details. Wipe off engines to removeaccumulated dust and grease. If a solvent is used,make sure it is nonflammable. Go over the entireengine and tighten nuts, bolts, and screws, includingthe mounts. illspect the wiring on the engine and cleanand tighten the terminals. Inspect the belts and tightenthem if needed. Replace any belt that is cracked orfrayed. Clean and lubricate the battery terminals; fillthe battery cells with distilled water as needed.

Cabin and Topside Areas

1. Check bow rails, ladders and grab rails for loosescrews, breaks, sharp edges, etc., that might behazardous in rough weather. Inventory and inspect lifejackets for tears and deterioration. Check your first aidkit to make sure it is complete. Check the signalingequipment. Inspect anchor, mooring and towing linesand repair or replace as required. DO NOT stow wetlines or they may mildew and rot.

2. Salt and brackish water are capable of etching anddamaging window glass. Keeping windows clean isthe best preventive measure you can take. Whenwindow cleaning, flush with plenty of fresh water.

Exercise caution when cleaning windows and doorsmade of plexiglass because it tends to scratch easily.First, use generous amounts of water to wash off asmuch dust as possible. Use your bare hands withplenty of water to dislodge any caked dirt. Then use asoft, grit-free cloth or soft, clean sponge with a cleanermade specifically for plexiglass. Never use a glasscleaning solution or a duster as they will scratch thesurface. DO NOT use solvents such as acetone,kerosene, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fire extin­guisher fluid, dry cleaning fluid, or lacquer thinner

since they will attack the surface. When you arefInished, rinse with fresh water and dry with a clean,damp chamois using a blotting action.

3. To keep teak looking fresh, it should be treated withteak oil at least twice a year (more often if exposure issevere). If the teak is in particularly bad condition askyour Maxum dealer about a good teak refurbishing kit.

4. Stainless steel railings and fittings should be cleanedwith soap and water or household glass cleaner.Because irreversible pitting will develop under rust thatremains on stainless steel for any period of time, it isbest to remove rust spots immediately with brass, silveror chrome clelli'ler. Then coat the railing or fitting witha good automobile or boat wax. Never clean withmineral acids or bleaches. Also, do not allow stainlesssteel to come into continuous contact with iron, steel orother metals which could cause contamination leadingto rust or corrosion.

5. A variety of high quality fabrics have been used in theconstruction of your boat. Proper care and cleaning ofall fabrics on a regular basis will contribute to theirlong life. The most important thing to remember isthat stains must be cleaned up immediately if theoriginal beauty and strength of the fabric are to bemaintained over a long period of time. Independent

laboratory testing has shown that some sunscreenlotions and oils can permanently stain most types ofvinyls and fabrics, so exercise care when using theseproducts.

Prior to cleaning any fabric, we suggest that you testyour cleaning solution and method on a hidden orinconspicuous area. That way, if that particularcleaning method causes damage, it will be confmed toa small, less noticeable area.

Use a sponge or very soft scrub brush and a mild soapand warm water solution to clean exterior fabrics.Rinse after scrubbing with plenty of cold, clean waterand allow the fabric to air dry in a well ventilatedplace, preferably away from direct sunlight.

Convertible tops, Naugahyde® dash panels (if yourboat is so equipped), and vinyl upholstery can becleaned using a mild soap and warm water solutionalso. Rinse after scrubbing with plenty of cold, cleanwater and air dry in a well ventilated place, againpreferably away from direct sunlight.

Vinyl cleaners and conditioners are NOT recom­mended for use on Maxum upholstery, as they tend toremove plasticizers that extend the life of the fabric.To prevent rainwater seepage at the seams, a coating ofScotch Gard® can be applied.

Mildew can occur if your boat does not have adequateventilation. Heat alone will not prevent mildew; youmust also provide for fresh air circulation. Ifmildewdoes occur, it often can be removed using a solution ofwarm water and laundry bleach (one cup of bleach toone gallon of warm water). Brush the solution into theaffected area, let it sit for 10.to 15 minutes, and rinsewith plenty of cold, clean water. Air dry in a wellventilated place, once again preferably away fromdirect sunlight.

If at all possible, the vinyl top parts of your boat shouldbe stored indoors in a fairly warm, dry place. This willgreatly extend the life of the material.

Dry cleaning should be considered for interior fabricsother than vinyl.

6. When instruments are exposed to a saltwater environ­ment, salt crystals may fon;n on the bezel and theplastic covers. These salt crystals should be removedwith a soft, damp cloth; never use abrasives or rough,dirty cloths to wipe plastic parts. Mild householddetergents or plastic cleaners can be used to keep theinstruments bright and clean.

HuH

1. The fmish on a fiberglass boat is similar to that of anautomobile and will respond to the same system of careand cleaning.

Use a sponge and a mild soap and warm water solutionto clean exterior surfaces of your boat. Rinse the boatwell with plenty of clean water. You can use eitherboat or automobile wax to protect the fmish, but avoidwaxing polyethylene swim platforms, as they can bedestroyed by the chemicals in some waxes. Note thatthere are a variety of polishes and cleaners for fiber­glass on the market. We suggest that you experimentwith different brands to determine which work best foryou.

2. Almost unavoidable during the life of your boat isdamage to the gelcoat or colored surface. This is not asserious as you might think. Repair is not costly andcan be done by the novice.

Scratches: If the scratch does not penetrate the gelcoatsurface, it can be repaired with automotive rubbingcompound. Dampen a soft rag and apply the com­pound by rubbing in a circular motion. The scratchmay not disappear completely; however, its noticeabil':'ity will decrease.

Gouges and Chips: To repair, obtain "patch paste"from your Maxum' dealer and follow this recommendedprocedure:

.. Clean the area to be repaired of wax and oil. Ace­tone is a good solvent.

.. Mix. a small portion of patch paste and catalyst on apiece of cardboard according to the manufacturer'sinstructions.

.. Apply the paste to the gouge with a putty knife orflat-edged stick; try to match the paste to the surfacecontour of the area being repaired. It is better tohave an excess of paste, rather than not enough.

.. Allow the paste to harden thoroughly. In mostclimates, one to two hours should be sufficient.

.. Shape the patch as desired using fine wet sandpaper... Finish by using automotive rubbing compound in the

same manner as you did for small scratches.

Teak oil, acetone and c~talystare hazardousmaterials and should be used only in well ventilatedareas. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.Also, never store rags that have been wetted withacetone, teak oil, fuel or any other solvent aboardyour boat. Immediately remove them from theboat and discard them to prevent spontaneouscombustion and fire.

3. Special Care for Boats That Are Moored

Ifpermanently moored in salt water or fresh water,your boat will collect marine growth on its bottom.This will detract from the boat's beauty and greatlyaffect its performance. There are two methods ofpreventing this:

s Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrubthe bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soapand water.

s Paint the hull below the waterline with a good gradeof antifouling paint.

NOTICEMaxum recommends the application of an epoxybarrier coating, such as International Paint Com­pany's Interlux "Interprotect 2000 System", to helpseal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility ofgelcoat blistering on any boat that is permanentlymoored. The barrier coating should be coveredwith several coats of antifouling paint. Note thatmany states regulate the chemical content of bottompaints in order to meet environmental standards.Check with your local Maxum dealer about recom­mended bottom paints, and about laws that are ineffect in your area.

4. Whenever your boat is out of the water you shouldcheck all metal parts for stray current corrosion. Straycurrent corrosion, or electroiysis, can be preventedseveral ways. The following are the most commoncauses and the simplest cures:

s Wiring may leak a certain amount of electricity.Keep a clean, dry bilge.

s A poorly grounded zinc anode: Check the groundwire and clean all contact surfaces.

s The zinc anode may be deteriorated beyond effec­tiveness. Replace it when it has deteriorated 50% ormore.

s If your boat is permanently moored, we recommendthat you contact someone in your area specializing incorrosion control and have them check your boat inits moorage to see that it is properly protected.

5. Propellers should be inspected often for damage.Every attempt has been made to equip your boat with apropeller that will optimize performance. However,your boating needs may dictate a propeller change.Your Maxum dealer can help you in the selection ofpropellers better suited to your needs.

On those high performance Maxum models capable ofspeeds in excess of 50 mph, "cavitation bum" may beexperienced on the propeller. Propellers on these boats

35

should be checked frequently for cavitation burn if theboat is continuously operated at high speeds. Replacepropellers as necessary when severe burn occurs. High

. performance propellers constructed of bronze orstainless steel are available from the propeller manu­facturers, but using these could void the warranty ofyour drive unit.

STORAGE

The following suggestions are offered for storage at theend of your boating season.

" Block the trailer wheels off the ground to avoid tiredeterioration.

" Loosen the stern tie-downs to avoid stress on thehull.

3. Refer to your engine manual for engine storageinstructions.

4. Remove the marine battery from the boat. Fill the cellsto the proper level and store your battery in a warmplace. A fully charged battery will survive storagebetter.

36

1.

2.

Your boat should be stored under cover if possible. Ifcovered storage isn't available, a temporary wintercover is recommended. A proper winter cover shouldkeep weather off the boat, but still provide adequateventilation. Wrapping a boat up in a tight plastic covercan do more damage than good. Dampness and lack ofair circulation provide ideal conditions for fungi thatcause mildew and dry rot.

If you are storing your boat on its trailer:

5. Fuel tanks should be filled so there is little air space,thereby minimizing condensation.

6. Thoroughly clean your boat. Ifpossible, removecushions, mattresses, blankets, towels, and other itemsthat can hold moisture and cause mildew. Such itemsleft on board should be positioned for maximum aircirculation. Stand mattresses and cushions on edge.Prop open doors, hatches, cabinets and ski lockers toallow fresh air to circulate.

7. Clean all deck hardware; then coat the hardware withrust inhibitor.

8. Lubricate the steering mechanism and throttle controllinkage.
