Maintaining a good appearance
• After each use, especially if used in salt
water areas, rinse the canvas completely
with fresh cold water.
On a regular basis
• Brush off any loose dirt, pollen, etc.
• Hose down with fresh cold water and clean
with a mild solution of a natural soap in
lukewarm water (maximum 100°F / 38°C).
• Allow the canvas to soak. DO NOT ALLOW
THE SOAP TO DRY.
• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
• Let the canvas dry completely.
DO NOT
store any of the canvas pieces while wet.
The effects of ultraviolet light can sometimes be
reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
Consult your Boston Whaler

dealer or check your
canvas manufacturer’s manual
BEFORE
using any
chemical treatments on your canvas.
Canvas Care and Maintenance
To keep your canvas and metal parts in good working
condition and in good appearance, you will need to
keep them clean.
The fabric should be cleaned regularly before
substances such as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to
accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric.
The canvas can be cleaned without being removed
from the installation.
Chafing, fiber wear from dirt and grit and deterioration
from ultraviolet light can cause your canvas to
degrade over time.
NOTICE
DO NOT use detergents, bleach or solvents to
clean your canvas.
Touch-up Procedure
• CLEAN surface of dirt, oil, grease, etc.
• SAND LIGHTLY with 400 grit wet/dry
abrasive paper.
• REMOVE sanding dust with a lint-free cloth
dampened with mineral spirits.
• TEMPERATURE of surface and paint must
be at room temperature (between 70 to 90
degrees is ideal).
• APPLY paint to minor scratches by spraying
a small amount of paint into the container’s
cap. Using a small brush, carefully apply the
paint sparingly to the properly prepared
surface. DO NOT APPLY A HEAVY COAT
ALL AT ONCE. Apply several light coats
allowing the paint to dry until tacky between
each coat.
NOTICE
If painting over exposed or bare metal, a
chemical pretreatment process and/or primer
sealer is recommended.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTICE
The visual, mechanical, chemical as well as
corrosion protective and weather resistance
properties of repaired areas ARE NOT equal to
