SPECIAL CARE & CLEANING
The marine environment (sun, salt, pollution, and bird droppings) requires
special products for proper care and cleaning. Your dealer is best suited for
recommendations on marine care and cleaning products that work best in
your area.
Canvas
The convertible/bimini top is made of acrylic materials. To gain longer life and
top performance from your canvas including windshield connector, side and
aft curtains, bow and cockpit covers, we recommend the following:
●
The canvas and clear plastic are not designed to withstand long periods
of time exposed to the elements as a protective cover at dock side or
when your boat is in storage. A full, properly fitted, light colored mooring
transportation or storage cover should be used for these purposes.
●
If canvas gets wet during use, remove side curtains and open windshield
so seams can dry out. The air circulation will allow all canvas to dry and
prevent the growth of mildew. Never store wet or damp canvas.
●
Occasionally set up all canvas and curtains and hose down with fresh
water to remove accumulated soot and dirt. Sweep or brush the
underside of the canvas to prevent the accumulation of dirt and mildew.
●
The outer canvas surfaces can be cleaned with a soft scrub brush and
either automotive convertible top cleaners or household cleaners suitable
for use on acrylic surfaces. The underside of the canvas may be
periodically sprayed with a spray disinfectant to prevent the growth of
mildew.
●
Do not store or dock your boat under trees. Tree sap is very corrosive to
canvas and can also be harmful to gelcoat and vinyl interiors.
●
Adjust top bows to eliminate pockets in which rain water can accumulate.
The weight of this accumulated water can collapse the top or bag the
canvas.
Never trailer your boat with the convertible/bimini canvas
(including side curtains, aft curtain, windshield connector, bow
cover and cockpit cover) up. Monterey Boats’ canvas is not
designed to withstand the high wind loads of trailering. Severe
wind damage can occur such as torn material, fastener pull-out
and frame distortion. Damage caused by trailering is not covered
under the limited warranty.
●
Zippers and snaps should never be forced. Occasionally lubricate with
silicone/Teflon grease.
●
When trailering, dismantle, roll or fold and securely stow all canvas to
prevent damage. Monterey recommends purchasing a transportation cover
