Windows and Windshield
All Formula windshields, wing windows and
walk-through windows are of tempered glass
construction. They can be cleaned with a non-
abrasive glass cleaner applied with a soft cloth.
Do not use a dry cloth or a harsh detergent.
These items will scratch the surface.
Marine Growth
If accelerated marine growth is a problem in your
area, an anti-fouling bottom paint may be
necessary to slow growth and prevent gelcoat
damage. Consult your Formula dealer for anti-
fouling bottom paint recommendations.
UNSCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Periodically check cleats, seats, fittings,
windshield mounting hardware and other items
for tightness and proper operation. A problem
with a piece of equipment can occur at anytime.
Have your Formula dealer service a problem.
The safety of you and your passengers depends
upon a well maintained boat.
Immediately service any problem with an engine,
propulsion unit or generator. A minor repair could
become a major overhaul if left unchecked. Pay
close attention to the cooling system operation
of these components.
Propulsion Units and Generator
Follow the maintenance schedules outlined in
your propulsion unit and generator operator’s
manuals. Obtain the required service at the
specified interval from your Formula dealer.
When setting up the canvas, be sure to zip in
the side and aft curtains before using the snaps.
Snaps and zippers should be regularly lubricated
with Vaseline, silicone spray or paraffin.
Do not force zippers. The most vulnerable part is
the starting point. Be careful when starting a
zipper to prevent damage.
NOTICE
Teak preservatives and oils can be
harmful to other materials. Make sure you
thoroughly remove any of these products
if they come in contact with the gelcoat
surface, vinyl or canvas.
Hardware Care
Deck fittings, cleats and bow rails are stainless
steel. Frequent washing with a mild detergent
should bring back the original shine. Remove
rust spots as soon as possible with a brass,
silver or chrome cleaner. Apply a coat of wax to
protect the finish.
NOTICE
Do not use course abrasives like
sandpaper or steel wool, or cleaning
agents like mineral acids or bleaches to
clean stainless steel. Do not allow
stainless steel components to contact
iron, steel or other metals which can
cause stainless steel to rust or corrode.
Periodically check deck fittings, cleats and bow
rails for tightness. Have your Formula dealer
tighten any loose items.
Radar Arch
Depending on your model boat, the radar arch is
constructed from either aluminum or fiberglass
and has a very durable finish. Wash the arch
with a mild detergent and a clean soft cloth.
Apply a non-abrasive wax to the finish.
