CANVAS
It is recommended that you read Section 2, Boating
Safety to understand the effects of exhaust emissions.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance instructions have
been provided by the canvas manufacturer for the
canvas used on your Chaparral boat. The informa-
tion can be found in the Owner's Manual Packet.
By following the provided instructions, your canvas
set will give you protection from the elements and
comfort that you expect. Most of all, the instructions
provide you with installation and removal proce-
dures that will simplify the task.
Storage
The canvas, or weather coverings, are 100% acrylic
yarn. Besides its resistance to mildew, rot and
weather, canvas also resists industrial pollutants
and the effects of ultraviolet light from the sun.
All canvas should be rolled or folded when dry and
stored in a clean, dry space. For clear vinyl pieces,
the recommended methods for storage are rolling or
laying down flat. The clear vinyl should never be
folded or creased as cracking will result. To protect
the clear vinyl from rubbing against itself while rolled
or stored flat, place a piece of very soft, non abra-
sive cloth between the pieces.
Installation Tips
The zippers, attached aft on hardtop are mounted
on a zipper track. Once installed, do not remove
these zippers or zipper tracks.
When attaching any of the pieces of the canvas set,
attach the top edges first and zip the zippers only
partially. This helps to hold the piece in place and
relieves tension, helping the other sides to zip or
snap easier. Once all sides of the piece are secure,
finish zipping the top of each piece. This will ensure
a tight fit.
Canvas Installation
Aft Curtain
The aft curtain extends over the cockpit area and
may be used while underway or as a storage cover.
Zip aft curtain to zipper track on aft edge of the hard-
top approximately six (6) inches on both sides of
center. Next, use the bungee cords to secure the
curtain at the transom. Complete installation by zip-
ping up aft curtain.
