The best way to take care of your Cobalt boat is
with prevention and proper care. All of the care
methods within this section may not apply to your
boat.
VINYL INTERIOR AND
UPHOLSTERY
The vinyl and interior fabric in your Cobalt boat has
been specially selected to take the tough
punishment of the elements and hard usage of an
active boater. Avoid sharp objects that may cut or
tear your vinyl.
Care and Cleaning of Vinyl
Most common everyday light soiling can be easily
removed by using a solution of 10% liquid
household dish soap and 90% warm water, applied
with a clean dampened cloth. Rinse with a clean
cloth dampened with water and allow to dry.
Moderate scrubbing with a soft-bristle brush will
help loosen dirt and grime embedded in the grain of
the vinyl.
See specific cleaning instructions located in your
boat bag.
Dark Stowage Areas
Often, when a boat is stored completely covered or
in a dark building, the vinyl will darken or become
“dingy” looking. If this happens, simply place the
boat in direct sunlight for a few hours and the vinyl
will brighten up.
Leather Care
For spots and spills, wipe up excess liquid
immediately with a clean absorbent cloth or
sponge. If necessary, use clean lukewarm water
only and let air dry naturally. If water is used, clean
the entire area where the spot occurred. For
example, clean the entire seat cushion or entire
arm. Do not dry wet areas with hair dryers.
For stubborn spots and stains, use a mild
non-detergent cleaner such as a bar of Ivory
Soap™ or Amway™ L.O.C. Apply the soap to a
clean, wet sponge, wash, then rinse well. Let air dry
naturally.
For butter, oil or grease, wipe any excess off the
leather with a clean dry cloth, then leave it alone;
the spot should dissipate into the leather in a short
period of time. Do not apply water or try to wash a
butter, oil or grease spot.
NOTICE: It is extremely
important to clean the stained
area as quickly as possible,
making sure the recommended
cleaning steps are followed in
order.
A
DANGER
Avoid fire or explosion. Avoid open
flame or spark. Flammable liquids are
extremely dangerous and must be used
in well-ventilated areas.
