Trailer–The trailer and its associated parts are not covered by this warranty or Surtees Boats 2005 Ltd. (See individual warranty supplied with trailer).

To enhance the life of your vessel a necessary maintenance practice follows:

The vessel must be rinsed both internally and externally, including side pockets and under the fuel tank (tote tank), after use with fresh water to remove salts, thus removing salt encrustation due to evaporation of seawater. If necessary, a non-etch cleaner and non-abrasive brush can be used to remove adherent surface grime and salt encrustation.

It is recommended that you use a non-solvent based cleaner for washing your boat.
