When stowing plastic or vinyl windows, be sure they are dry. Make sure
the vinyl is rolled and not folded or creased. Store them in a bag that will
breathe.
Seats Coverings and Vinyl
Because seat coverings and trim are made of expandable vinyl, extreme
temperatures have little effect on them.
Note: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning and
seat covering and removing stains. These recommendations
include the proper cleaning methods and cleaning agents.
Care
Place removable exterior cushions inside the boat when they are not in
use.
Cleaning
Remove stains as soon as possible to eliminate any possible reaction
between the staining agent and the vinyl. Wipe away dirt and smudges
with mild soap and warm water. If additional cleaning is required, scrub
with a soft bristle brush to remove dirt from textured patterns. Dry with
a soft, lint‐free cloth or towel.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions closely. NEVER use steel wool,
powdered abrasive cleaners, or bleaches. They will mar the surface and
leave an unsightly appearance. Never use bleaches or solvents of any
kind on monogram parts. Use mild soap and water. Bleaches and
solvents will cause monograms to fade.
To store cushions onboard boat for winter or extended periods of time,
open zippers and elevate cover away from foam padding. Place a small
rounded object (for example, a plastic bowl) inside to allow for air
circulation.
Canvas (Weathering Coverings)
The canvas, or weather coverings, is 100% acrylic yarn. Besides its
resistance to mildew, rot and weather, canvas also resists industrial
pollutants and the effects of ultraviolet light from the sun. Canvas is
breathable and, therefore, is not waterproof. Mooring covers are
waterproof.
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 fluorocarbon based
water repellent, or “303 High Tech Fabric Guard,” available 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 canvas attached to any hull or
windshield mounted fasteners.

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.
