* Never clean with acids or bleaches.
* Never permit contact with iron, carbon steel, or other metals, which could cause
rust or corrosion.
Canvas
Cleaning: Brush the canvas with a soft bristle brush and hose down at regular intervals to
remove bird droppings and dirt particles. It may be washed with a mild solution of
natural soap in lukewarm water (less than 100 deg. F). DO NOT USE DETERGENTS.
For stubborn stains soak the canvas in a solution of 4oz. non-chlorine bleach, 4oz. natural
soap and one-gallon warm water for approximately 20 minutes. Rinse with cold water.
Note: If the water repellence is lost due to cleaning, apply a water repellent treatment as
necessary.
The canvas may be washed in an automatic washing machine with cold water using 2
cups non-chlorine bleach and 1 cup natural soap. DO NOT DRY IN A DRYER. LINE
DRY ONLY to prevent shrinkage. If water will not bead on dry surface, re-treat with
water repellent.
Storage: Do not fold or store any canvas while wet. All canvas should be rolled or
folded when dry and kept in a clean dry location.
Upholstery
Vinyl
An occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is all that your interior and exterior
vinyl needs to remain in good condition for many years. We do not recommend the use
of any special cleaners, sealers, or treatments for interior and exterior vinyl. Refer to the
provided brochure.
Fabric
Only use dry cleaning fluid for all fabrics.
Corrosion Protection
If you moor your Pro-Line in salt water for extended periods, be sure to check the
transom mounted anti-corrosion anode often for operation. Check the electrical
connections (green wire) on all metallic fittings with anode for conductivity with an ohm
meter. Make sure the anode surface is exposed and not caked with corrosion and scale.
Renew the anode if it is more than 50% eroded. Your motor / drive unit has a sacrificial
zinc anode to mitigate the effects of electrolysis which causes corrosion. Maintain this
anode in accordance with the maintenance schedule in your engine manual.
Winterization and Storage
* Remove drain plug and keep bow high to drain any water accumulation.
* Drain all water from water systems.
* Fill fuel tank and add a stabilizer to the gasoline.
* Prepare the engine in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations found
in your engine manual.
* Treat metal parts with rust inhibitor.
* Remove the battery and protect from freezing. Trickle charge overnight once
per month.
* Place under cover. Loosen tie down straps and unload the tires with blocks if
loaded on a trailer.
