clean as the exterior finish to prolong life and beauty.
1. Always try to clean up spills quickly to prevent
staining.
2. Clean dirt and smudges with mild soap and
warm water. If necessary, scrub with a soft
bristle brush to remove dirt from textured
vinyl. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
3. Certain household cleaners, powdered abra-
sives, steel wool and industrial cleaners can
cause damage and discoloration and are not
recommended. Dry cleaning fluids and lacquer
solvents should not be used, as they will
remove the printed pattern and gloss. Waxes
should be used with caution. Many contain
dyes or solvents that can permanently damage
the protective coating.
4. Periodic applications of a vinyl protection solu-
tion will help keep vinyl clean and pliable.
Follow instructions provide by vinyl manufac-
turer. Check cleaning solution labels before
using. Do not use 409
®
cleaner or Armor All
®
.
5. Removable outside seat cushions should be
placed inside when not in use.
Canvas
T-tops and bimini-tops are designed and intended to
provide coverage of the helm seating areas from the
sun. These tops are not a weather cover and will be
damaged by accumulation of rainwater. While these
tops are intended to provide ample weather protection
for the helm, the tops are not completely weather tight
like a winter storage cover.
Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Do not use hot water, dry in an auto-
matic dryer, dry clean or steam press canvas.
1. Wet down all canvas. Use a soft bristle brush
and scrub with a mild detergent and water solu-
tion.
2. Use a mild solution of ammonia/water and
scrub for heavy soil or mildew build-up. Be
sure to rinse thoroughly.
3. Brush or sweep underside of the top. Spray
with Lysol
™
or other disinfectant to prevent
mildew.
Care
1. Keep the top up in rain or when boat is not in
use.
2. Air-dry canvas material before storing. Never
store canvas while damp or wet, and provide
proper ventilation to prevent mildew.
3. Avoid mooring under trees.
4. When not in use, remove the top and store in
the boot on board your boat.
Engine
If you have a new engine with a built-in-flushing
device, the engine may be flushed without cranking.
IF the engine does not have a built-in flush device one
may be purchased to fit.
To flush the engine, after connecting a water hose to
the proper connection, turn on the water. Put the
engine control in the idle position and crank the engine.
Only let it run a few minutes. The gear case is water-
cooled and is not designed to run out of the water for
extended periods.
Do not crank the engine without water running. Water
acts as a coolant and also a lubricant for the water
pump.
Do not rev the engine when flushing; idle speed is suf-
ficient.
The exterior of the engine will respond well to a good
quality wax. This should be reapplied every several
months as the marine environment is a very harsh one
and the constant sun exposure will deteriorate your
motor's finish. Consult the engine manufacturer's
owner's manual for specific instructions. In areas
where there is a conflict between this manual and the
engine manufacturer's manual, the engine owner's
manual will take precedence.
