Cleaning Stubborn Stains
Soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes in
a mild solution consisting of no more than 1/2
cup (4 oz.) of bleach and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) of natural
soap per gallon of lukewarm water (not to exceed
100° F / 38° C).
Rinse thoroughly
in cold water several times.Allow
the fabric to air dry completely.
Retreat the fabric using an air curing product such
as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard to ensure water and
stain repellency.
All canvas should be stored
fl at or rolled in a clean,
dry space.
Maintaining Zippers and Hardware
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a
clear silicone spray. In the absence of silicone spray,
a wax candle can be used to lubricate the zipper
track.
Replace any missing fasteners or any fasteners
showing signs of corrosion.
NOTICE
Failure to remove all of the soap solution can
cause deterioration of seams and prevent fabric
from proper retreating.
NOTICE
DO NOT use petroleum based products, such as
petroleum jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
Long Term Storage & Winterization
Long periods of storage, winter lay-up and/or non-
use, common to boats, create unique problems. When
preparing to store a boat for extended periods of two
months or more it is best to make sure that the boat
and its systems are properly conditioned for such
extended periods of non-usage.
The guidelines presented on the following pages
give basic instructions on “winterizing” your boat
and boat systems. If inexperienced with the process
of winterization it is best to hire the services of a
professional.
In addition, always consult the owner’s manuals of
the various systems and equipment on your boat for
the manufacturer’s recommendations on winterizing
and long term storage.
Hull Wrap Care
The graphic wrapping on your boat (Option)
needs the same care as any other graphic or decal.
Frequently wash down with fresh water and simply
wipe off any loose dirt, pollen, etc using a spounge
or soft cloth.
In the event that the graphic is scraped or dinged by
interaction with a dock, another vessel or any other
object, the graphic wrap can be repaired (patched)
by simply contacting your dealer and requesting a
patch which will cover the existing design.
The boat wrap will not fade even through exposure
to sun or saltwater so the colors of a patch will match
the design perfectly.
Never start or run your outboard (even
momentarily) without having water circulating
through the cooling water intake holes in the
gear case. This will prevent damage to the
water pump (running dry) or overheating of
the engine.
!
CAUTION
Engine
Protecting your engine’s vital moving parts from
corrosion and rust caused by freezing of trapped
water or excessive condensation due to climatic
changes is very important. Freezing water in the
engine can cause extensive damage to the internal
moving parts. Internal engine parts can also be
affected by rust due to lack of proper lubrication
