• Never clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
• Never leave stainless steel in contact with iron, steel, or other metals
which cause contamination leading to rust or corrosion.
WINDSHIELD AND PORTHOLE
Clean windshield safety glass with a glass cleaner or ammonia water;
then rinse with plenty of clear water.
Important: Solvents can penetrate glass or porthole surfaces and
cause hazing. Hazing obstructs visibility. Never use acetone, ben-
zine, carbon tetrachloride, lacquer thinner, or similar solvents to
clean glass or portholes.
The canvas or weather covering windows are made of a synthetic mate-
rial. Wash any Plexiglass, clear vinyl or other synthetic materials with a
mild detergent or dishwashing liquid and water solution, then rinse with
plenty of clear water.
When stowing plastic or vinyl windows, be sure they are dry. Make sure
the vinyl is rolled and not folded or creased. Store them in a bag that will
breathe.
CARPET
After a boating excursion, allow carpet to dry completely in the sun to
prevent mildew.
Snap in carpet should be rolled and stored prior to trailering boat as dam-
age may occur if left during transportation.
Vacuum carpeting frequently. Clean up spills as quickly as possible.
Remove spots before they dry. Clean indoor/outdoor carpet with a mild
detergent or dishwashing liquid and warm water solution and a scrub
brush. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse carpet with clear water. Your own-
er’s packet has more detailed information provided by the manufacturer.
Follow the manufacturer ’s recommendations for cleaning and stain re-
moval.
SEAT COVERINGS AND VINYL
Because seat coverings and trim are made of expandable vinyl, extreme
temperatures have little effect on them.
Note: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations (found in your
owner ’s packet) for cleaning and seat covering and removing
stains. These recommendations include the proper cleaning meth-
ods and cleaning agents.
Care
Place removable exterior cushions inside the boat when they are not in
use.
Cleaning
Remove stains as soon as possible to eliminate any possible reaction
between the staining agent and the vinyl. Wipe away dirt and smudges
with mild soap and warm water. If additional cleaning is required, scrub
with a soft bristle brush to remove dirt from textured patterns. Dry with a
soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions closely. Never use steel wool, pow-
dered abrasive cleaners, or bleaches. They will mar the surface and
leave an unsightly appearance.
Never use bleaches or solvents of any kind on monogram parts. Use
mild soap and water only. Bleaches and solvents will cause monogram
to fade.
To store cushions onboard boat for winter or extended periods of time,
open zippers and elevate cover away from foam padding. Place a small
rounded object (for example, a plastic bowl) inside to allow for air circula-
tion.
