Never use harsh soaps, porcelain cleaning powders, detergents containing ammonia or chlorine,
acetone, or ketone solvents.
2.
Wax the boat hull and deck after every three or four outings to decrease water friction and to lessen
the potential for staining or spotting to the gelcoat surface.  In cases where the original gelcoat
shine cannot be restored by waxing, hand buff the surface using any commercial compound.  Be
sure to apply several coats of wax over the area that has been polished.

to like-new condition.

Corrosion occurs in saltwater conditions from the interaction of the saltwater and the direct current of the
battery.  To prevent corrosion, it is important to keep the bilge area as dry and clean as possible.

Due to gelcoat discoloration, osmosis (blistering), and algae growth, it is not recommended that you leave
your boat moored for long periods of time.  If your boat will be moored in fresh water or saltwater for
extended periods of time, you should do the following:
1.
Haul-out and clean your boat regularly (every 14-21 days).  Use soap, water, and plenty of elbow
grease.
2.
Apply wax after cleaning.
You should also check with your local Malibu dealer about anti-fouling paint and other products that can be
applied to the hull bottom below the water line.
