6.3 C
OMPONENT MAINTENANCE
6.3.1 Cushions and hook-and-loop fasteners
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt, ultra-violet rays etc., takes their toll on vinyl and nylon
products causing them to lose their lustre and texture. To clean, remove ordinary dirt
and smudges with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the cleaned area with fresh
water and dry with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or towel.
Your cushions are not waterproof. They are constructed of open-cell foam and will
absorb and hold water. Do not leave the cushions in standing water or exposed to
heavy, prolonged rain. If, in the event, your cushions become waterlogged, remove the
foam from the cushion, press as much water as you can from the foam and allow to air
dry. To prevent mildew, keep the vinyl dry and make sure that moisture does not
accumulate between the cushions when stored. Do not store until they are completely
dry.
The hook-and-loop fasteners are used to hold the cushions in place on the seat. They
need to be cleaned by water and mild soap when dirty. Do not use jet / pressure water
nozzles when cleaning them. Although they are of high quality, they will eventually wear
out from use, sun exposure and wear from stepping on them. They are considered a
consumable and need to be replaced as needed. The first roll of spare fastener tape is
provided with the new boat.
6.3.2 Tempered glass windows
First thoroughly rinse with clean water. Then if needed, use commercially available glass
cleaners or a mixture of fresh water and vinegar to clean your glass windows (flush with
water in case of spillage on aluminium parts). Dry with a soft terry cloth towel or
chamois.
DO NOT use abrasives, harsh chemicals, or metal scrapers on glass.
