waterproof grease or white lithium grease.

Annual Maintenance
Some boat owners choose to personally execute some main-
tenance procedures on their boats. MasterCra has provided
information on several procedures. For safety reasons, a few
must be performed by authorized MasterCra service techni-
cians only, such as anything involving checks and repairs on the
fuel line, which is under pressure.
ese matters must be addressed on a regular basis, at one hun-
dred (100) hours or annually, whichever comes rst, and these
procedures are in addition to seasonal preparation and winter-
ization (see Storage and Winterization section for additional
details). All of these issues are extremely important to continued
boating pleasure, as well as long life for the boat, and the critical
matter of safety.
Even if the annual maintenance work is completed by an
authorized MasterCra service technician, boat owners and
operators should still review this section and ensure that they
have some understanding of what is necessary to keep the boat
in top condition.
