less steel will periodically develop surface
rust stains; this is normal under these con-
ditions.
Clean and protect by using a high quality boat
or automotive wax or a commercial metal
cleaner and protectant.
DO NOT use citrus-based, abrasive materi
-
als such as sandpaper, bronze wool, or steel
wool on stainless steel as damage will result.
Anodized Aluminum Surfaces
Wash periodically with soap and water to
keep it clean. If the boat is used in saltwater
or polluted water, wash with soap and water
after each use. Saltwater allowed to remain
on anodized aluminum will penetrate the
anodized coating and attack the aluminum.
Hardtops with aluminum frames, bimini tops
and towers with canvas and/or fiberglass tops
require special attention to the anodized alu-
minum just below the top. This area is subject
to salt build-up from salty condensation and
sea spray. It is often overlooked when the
boat is washed and will not be rinsed by the
rain. The aluminum just below the top is more
likely to become pitted than the exposed alu
-
minum on the structure. Make sure these
areas are washed frequently with soap and
water and rinsed thoroughly. Pay particu
-
lar attention to places where the top mate-
rial and lacing contact the frame. Coat the
entire frame with a metal protector made for
anodized aluminum once a month to protect
against pitting and corrosion caused by the
harsh effects of saltwater. The anodized alu
-
minum used on your Pursuit was coated with
a metal protector called Aluma Guard at the
factory. Aluma Guard is a nonabrasive marine
metal protector that protects anodized alumi-
num, stainless steel, brass and chrome. It
also protects color anodizing from fading and
discoloring due to harmful ultraviolet rays.
Aluma Guard is available from your dealer or
Rupp Marine Inc., 4761 Anchor Avenue, P.O.
Drawer F, Port Salerno, FL 34992.
Aluma Guard and other metal protectors can
make the metal slippery and should not be
used on tower ladders, steering wheels and
other areas for gripping or stepping.
Stains can be removed with a metal polish or
fine polishing compound. To minimize corro
-
sion, use a caulking compound to bed hard
-
ware and fasteners mounted to aluminum
fabrications. If the anodized coating is badly
scratched it can be touched up with paint.
With proper care, anodized aluminum will
provide many years of service.
Contact Pursuit Customer Relations before
making any modifications to aluminum fabri
-
cations. Unauthorized modifications can void
the warranty.
Powder Coated (Painted) Aluminum
Surfaces
Regular care is necessary to maintain
the appearance of the powder coat finish.
Build-up of salt and grime can hold moisture
and damage powder coatings. This buildup
can cause a corrosive condition that can
damage the coating, especially in a salt air or
coastal environment.
•
Wash the finish regularly with warm
water containing a pH neutral detergent
(i.e. mild dish soap).
•
Use a non-abrasive fiber cloth.
•
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Chrome Hardware
Rinse with fresh water and wipe dry with
towel or chamois after each use. Use a good
chrome cleaner and polish on all chrome
hardware. Clean and wax chrome prior to
extended storage. In saltwater or other harsh
environments, clean and wax more often.
Acrylic Plastic
Acrylic plastic scratches easily. DO NOT use
a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on
acrylic. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and
