Fiberglass.is.one.of.the.most.durable,.strong,.and.
forgiving construction materials afloat. It is resilient
and.normal.repairs.can.be.made.without.affecting.the.
strength.or.structural.integrity.of.the.boat.
NOTICE
If using a power buffer, use a low RPM buffer
with light pressure. Keep the pad wet and
the buffer moving at all times to prevent heat
build up.
Striking docks, other boats, or submerged
objects could create a very hazardous situ-
ation or severely damage the fiberglass. In the
event an object is struck below or near the
waterline, proceed directly and cautiously to
the nearest service facility and remove the
boat from the water. Closely inspect the hull
for damage. If the outer fiberglass laminate
was penetrated, repairs must be made prior
to relaunch.
NOTICE
When sanding, DO NOT use a power or belt
sander to prevent gouges, uneven areas, or
other damage. For best results, block sand the
gel coat.
