Foam and Floor Best Practices 

Like a home, automobile, or other outdoor equipment, boats require regular care and maintenance Proper Storage  When not in use, we recommend covering the boat. Will your boat be moored or stored outside for long periods of time?  If so, we recommend a stern cover or full boat cover. Washdown Use  Washdowns should be used sparingly on wood decks. Care of wood floors  Please do not pressure wash the interior of your boat.  We recommend cleaning the deck like a hard surface in a home. Avoid flooding the fishing cockpit with water and towel dry all surfaces when finished.  Do not make any penetrations into a wood deck for pedestals, accessories, or any other aftermarket equipment.  If a wood deck is removed, apply a new bead of silicone along the perimeter of each floorboard. Inspect fishing deck annually  Pull two outer-aft deck panels and inspect the surface of the foam.  It is possible that you will find a 1/2”-layer of water at the top.  Allow the area to dry as well as the wood deck.  The typical dry time is 48 hours but may be longer due to temperature and moisture content.  Re-seal the perimeter of each floorboard.
