The Pacific Hovercraft Slider is basically maintenance free. The drive system utilizes sealed, permanently lubricated bearings. All drive belts are maintenance free Polishing GT rated for 5,000 hours. After a few hundred hours of operation the drive clutch may require new linings.
All fasteners and materials are stainless steel, plastic, fiberglass or aluminum to resist corrosion. Where ferrous steel is required, it has been zinc plated and power coated!
The exhaust system has been coated with HPC, an extremely high temperature and durable coating. The HPC helps to keep the heat in and eliminates corrosion. Plus it looks great.
The skirt is constructed of tough nylon reinforced PVC and will offer years of service with proper care. The finger segments have a urethane insert for wear resistance and are held in place with breakable nylon cable ties on the inside and nylon fasteners on the outside. This allows the segments to "breakaway" without damage should they get caught. It also makes for easy and quick repairs.
After use in salt water it is recommended to wash down the craft including the engine compartment and spray WD 40 or CRC in the engine compartment to reduce the potential of corrosion.
