CANVAS (WEATHER COVERINGS)
The canvas, or weather coverings, are 100% acrylic yarn. Besides
its resistance to mildew, rot and weather, canvas also resists indus-
trial pollutants and the effects of ultraviolet light from the sun.
Care
• Keep the top up when boat is not in use or when it’s raining.
Never trailer your boat with the canvas up. None of the canvas or
covers supplied with your boat were designed for the stress of
highway speed trailering, and to do so may damage the canvas.
• Keep canvas clean. Acrylic fabric will not support mildew
growth, but dirt and dust on the canvas will.
• Lubricate zippers with paraffin and snaps with petroleum jelly.
• If canvas or seams leak, apply a light coating of a fluorocarbon
based water repellent, or “303 High Tech Fabric Guard,” avail-
able at most marine dealers.
• Allow all canvas to air dry before storing. Never store canvas
damp or wet. Provide proper ventilation to limit the possibility of
mildew.
• Avoid mooring under trees.
• Do not tow your boat with the top in the raised position.
• Be careful not to scratch clear vinyl windows. Dry well before
stowing. When stowing clear vinyl, make sure the vinyl is rolled
and not creased.
Cleaning
• Wet down all canvas material. Scrub with a soft bristle brush
and a solution of mild soap and water. Never use a detergent or
bleach on your canvas.
• Brush or sweep the underside of the top. Spray with Lysol or
other disinfectant to prevent mildew.
