Care and Maintenance
Miscellaneous
Hardware
Most of the metal hardware on your boat consists of brass, stainless steel, or aluminum
and should be cleaned on a periodic basis with soap and water. In fresh water, metal
fittings and hardware should be sprayed regularly with a rust inhibitor, and after every
use in saltwater.
DO NOT use cleaners that are not intended for use on stainless steel. Glass, tile, counter
or citrus cleaners can damage hardware permanently. Always follow cleaning, by
applying a high-quality metal polish or automotive wax after cleaning. Test products in
an inconspicuous area before applying to the complete surface, especially if you are not
familiar with the product.
All metal parts, including but not limited to tower accessories, board racks or speaker
cans, should be cleaned with mild soap and water frequently and waxed periodically. A
corrosion protectant is highly recommended on these components for use in areas of
salt/brackish water. Pitting or oxidation is not covered under warranty. Pitting is not the
same as separation.
Bilge
The bilge of your boat can accumulate oil and greasy dirt over a period of time and
should be cleaned out periodically. Usually, ordinary soap and water does not remove the
accumulation and something stronger will be needed. Check with your Axis dealer for
recommendations.
Windows and Windshields
The windows and windshields on your Axis boat are made of tempered safety glass and
are similar to the windows in your car. The glass will scratch however, and abrasive
cleaners should not be used to clean your windows. Soap and water or automotive glass
cleaners may be used.
Winterizing
When the boating and ski season comes to an end, it is recommended that the boat be
removed from the water and stored. It is extremely important that proper winterizing
procedures are read and followed to ensure longer boat life. Here is our list of suggestions
to keep your boat in top condition:
Prepare the engine according to the instructions found in your engine owners
manual. It our recommendation that you contact your local Axis dealer for full
winterization procedures.
Clean and dry the boat interior and exterior thoroughly. Inspect boat hull for
residue and remove any if present.
Clean the bilge area thoroughly and operate the bilge pump to remove any water
from bilge lines.
Remove all seat cushions and open all storage areas. Store the seat cushions in a
cool and dry place.
Cover the boat and store it in a garage or other protected facility.
If the boat is stored on a trailer, you should block the trailer wheels.
