The bimini top, side curtains, clear connector, back drop and aft curtain 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.
Do not operate engines, fuel consuming heaters or burners with the canvas enclosures closed. The cockpit
must be open for legal ventilation and to prevent the possible accumulation of carbon monoxide fumes, which
could be lethal.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.
IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.
13.4 Cabin Interior
The cabin interior can be cleaned just like you would clean a home interior. To preserve the teak woodwork,
use teak oil. To maintain the carpeting, use a vacuum cleaner. Because air and sunlight are very good cleansers,
periodically put cushions, sleeping bags, etc. on deck, in the sun and fresh air, to dry and air out. If cushions
or equipment get wet with saltwater, remove and use clean, fresh water to rinse off the salt crystals. Salt retains
moisture and will cause damage. Dry thoroughly and reinstall.
Vinyl headliner material should be cleaned periodically as explained in the previous section. Avoid using
products containing ammonia, bleach, or harsh chemicals as they can shorten the life of vinyl.
If you leave the boat for a long period of time, put all cushions on their sides, open all interior cabin and locker
doors, and hang a commercially available mildew protector in the cabin.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY ON MILDEW PROTECTORS. REMOVE THE
PROTECTOR AND ALLOW THE CABIN TO VENTILATE COMPLETELY BEFORE USING
THE CABIN.
13.5 Bilge
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow the directions carefully.
The generator compartment should be kept clean and free of oil accumulation and debris. All exposed pumps
and metal components, including the generator, should be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the
corrosive effects of the high humidity always present in these areas.
Maintenance intervals are outlined in the generator owner’s manual. Their recommendations should be
followed exactly.
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.
