Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Use – Wash with fresh water and mild marine soap after saltwater exposure to prevent corrosion and salt buildup.
• Check Fasteners Regularly – Inspect and tighten all stainless‑steel bolts and hardware; use marine sealant and backing plates where recommended for stronger mounting.
• Inspect for Wear or Damage – Look for signs of surface wear, deformation, or looseness in the base and arms to maintain secure support for outriggers.
• Polish Stainless Surfaces – Occasionally apply a marine stainless polish to preserve finish and help resist pitting or rust in harsh conditions.
• Store Upright Arms – When underway at speed, keep outriggers in vertical position (arms don’t lock into the base) to reduce stress and wear.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners – Do not use abrasive or caustic chemicals; stick to boat‑safe cleaning products to protect stainless integrity
