Strataglass
Strataglass
®
is a special coated vinyl that is used in the curtains for the T-top enclosure. The coating
protects the vinyl glass and resists scratching. Waxes and plexiglas polishing compounds should
not be used on strataglass as the protective coating prevents them from penetrating into the vinyl
and they will build up on the surface. These products will create a hazy, greasy appearance that
will affect the clarity of the strataglass. Products that repel water, like Rainex
®
, should not be used
as they will not take well to the surface and could appear spotty and may also yellow or dull the
Strataglass over time.
Stratoglass can be cleaned by rinsing off dirt or salt deposits with fresh water, then washing with
a clean cloth and mild soap. Chamoise dry to remove water spots and improve clarity. If a polish
is accidentally used, use Windex
®
or its equivalent to remove it. While window cleaners will
destroy the standard vinyl normally used in side curtains and clear connectors, it will not harm
strataglass. Always roll down the curtains and snap in place at the end of each day so the curtains
will maintain their shape and to minimize fold distortions.
Remember, the coating on strataglass is scratch resistant and not scratch proof. Always handle the
curtains with care and never roll up curtains that are salty or dirty. If you have any questions about
the clear curtains used on your boat, please contact the Pursuit Customer Relations Department.
The T-top enclosure must be removed when trailering. Canvas enclosures are not designed to
withstand the extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and will be damaged. Always
remove and properly store the enclosure before trailering your boat.
10.3 Bilge
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, it is recommended that you use a commercial bilge cleaner on
a regular basis. Follow the directions carefully. All exposed pumps and metal components in the
bilge should be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the corrosive effects of the high
humidity always present in these areas.
Periodically check the bilge pumps for proper operation and clean debris from the strainers and float
switches. Inspect all hoses, clamps and thru hulls for leaks and tightness on a regular basis and
operate all thru hull valves at least once a month to keep them operating properly.
