down flat. The clear vinyl should never be folded or
creased as cracking will result. To protect the clear vinyl
from rubbing against itself while rolled or stored flat,
place a piece of very soft, nonabrasive cloth between
the pieces. If the surface of the clear vinyl becomes
scratched, the canvas manufacturer has provided a
canvas care sheet located in your Owner’s Manual
Packet. When storing the rear (aft) curtain, fold the
canvas over the clear vinyl window (do not fold clear
vinyl), then rol or store flat.
The fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances
such as dirt, pollen, etc. are allowed to accumulate on
and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be
cleaned without being removed from the installation.
Simply brush off any loose dirt, particles, etc.; hose down
and clean with a mild solution of a natural soap in
lukewarm water (no more than 100

C); rinse

thoroughly to remove soap. DO NOT USE
DETERGENTS. Allow to completely dry.
Wash and clean vinyl windows with a warm soap
solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge and do not scratch
the surface.
If you have stubborn cleaning cases, call your dealer for
proper procedures. Do not try your own cleaning
procedures as they may permanently damage the
canvas.
After each use, especially in salt water areas, rinse the
canvas completely with fresh cold water. Then let the
canvas dry completely before stowing.
All metal components of the canvas should be rinsed
with fresh cold water and exposed components wiped
dry to maintain appearance and working order.

Always clean spots, stains, etc., immediately. Test
an unseen area of fabric before cleaning stain, to
insure that cleaning material will not cause damage.

Exterior fabrics should be cleaned with a sponge or very
soft scrub brush and a mild soap and warm water
solution. After scrubbing, rinse with plenty of cold, clean
water and allow the fabric to air dry in a well ventilated
place, preferrably away from direct sunlight.
Mildew can occur if your boat does not have adequate
ventilation. Heat alone will not prevent mildew; you must
also provide for fresh air circulation.
