14.2.11 Flexiteek
Listed below are specific instructions for the maintenance
of your Flexiteek. These instructions are direct from the
vendor Control Masters.
“Your Flexiteek deck is low maintenance and never needs
oiling or special sealants. The on board shoe traffic
amount will determine how often you will need to rinse or
wash your deck. Flexiteek is stain resistant. Most spills
will brush away with soap and water. (Simple Green is
one recommended soap brand.) Should a chemical stain
be left to dry out and soap is not enough, then remove
it with a piece of 60-grit sandpaper on a sanding block
going along the grain pattern. Your deck panels are not
a laminate so a light sanding will not harm the surface.
No sealant is ever necessary after sanding either. Blend
toned by lightly sanding the surrounding area parallel to
the caulk lines by applying strokes to the surface in one
direction.
Flexiteek may be pressure cleaned. Pressure cleaning is
effective, if necessary, to lighten the tone of a deck should
you notice any shading has occurred which may take
place in regions close to the Equator. You may choose
to sand with 60-grit sandpaper on a sanding block as
described to restore to the original tone. Only apply light
pressure when sanding for the best results. Unlike real
teak, only minimal sanding is ever needed on Flexiteek.
Use boat shoes or no shoes at all as you normally do
already. Black sole shoes permitted on deck may scuff
any deck surface. The unique non-skid characteristic of
the deck surface will grip shoes and feet when wet.
Do Not place hot metals on Flexiteek decks.
Treat your
Flexiteek deck with the care you would give a teak deck
(except oiling)!
Acetone must never be used to clean this material sur-
face.
Do Not try to mop the surface.
Use a bristled brush, rinse
with a hose and leave it to air dry. Power sanders will
distort the teak wood appearance.
Do Not oil, bleach, varnish, paint or lacquer your Flexiteek
as this will reduce the non-slip characteristic of the mate-
rial.
If you wash your walls with bleach, then first spray
the Flexiteek deck with water in order to dilute bleach that
will run on the deck surface. After walls are washed, re-
spray both the wall and Flexiteek in order to rinse away
any bleach that has pooled on top of the Flexiteek. A
patch can repair any portion of the deck that becomes
damaged. Contact your regional distributor listed on our
webpage: www.flexiteek.com.”
14.3 Interior
You can usually clean the surfaces of these components
with a mild cleaner such as Fantastic. Avoid using harsh
or abrasive cleaners. Use approved marine sanitary
treatment chemicals to control the odor in the toilet and
holding tank.
14.3.2 Walls
The wood used in your boat is treated at the factory with
a multi-coat finish process. To maintain the finish, use a
good grade of furniture polish.
14.3.4 Bilges
The bilges are finished with a high quality gelcoat which
is easy to keep clean. Several brands of bilge cleaners
will dissolve dirt and grime, but will not harm the environ-
ment when pumped overboard. If you keep the bilge
clean, it is much easier to identify leaks or other problems
if they should develop.
Important: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits
the discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon navigable waters
in the United States. Violators are subject to a penalty.
14.3.5 Shower Sump
The showers drain into contained Sump which keep hair,
soap, scum, and bacteria from building up in the bilge
and developing an odor. The Sump consists of a plastic
box, a pump, and an automatic float switch. A detailed
instruction on cleaning the shower sump can be found
in the Sanitary Systems Chapter 10. This describes the
function more thoroughly.
Important: Periodically open the sump box and clean out the
buildup of hair and scum to prevent eventual clogging of the
pump.
14.4 Mechanical Systems and Components
Refer to the manuals supplied by the boat component
manufacturers for their recommended periodic mainte-
nance. The manuals may indicate maintenance require-
ment, in addition to, the minimum maintenance tasks
listed in the following charts.
