joe: nothing that is from UV damage ... just the dings and scratches one gets from using the boat. recommend covering the boat during the off-season. i wax all non-horizontal surfaces (cabin sides, cockpit sides, hull) twice a year: early spring and in mid-fall just prior to going into storage (when i put the cover on). will touch up as required. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 - SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.us --- On Tue, 4/12/11, Joe Murphy <seagray@embarqmail.com> wrote:
Dave, I guess it's safe to say you don't have any crazing or problems by not protecting that part of the boat surfaces?? Thanks, Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: W David Scobie Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 11:09 AM
i don't wax the non-skid. having a 28 year-old boat, as of this month, the non-skid is a bit oxidized ... and gives good traction. i wouldn't wax the non-skid for turning it into 'slid-skid'.
i have a good nylon brush that i use to clean out the non-skid to remove dirt and other 'gunk'.
