All upholstery items on your Supra are made of tough marine
grade vinyl that is easily cleaned.
It is important to provide for the drying of all upholstery and
carpet after each use of the boat. Open all storage compart -
ments and slide all removable cushions out about an inch to
allow air to circulate behind.
Strong detergents and cleaners may shorten the life of the
vinyl. PLEASE SEE VINYL MANUFACTURER’S RECOM-
MENDED CARE GUIDE INCLUDED IN YOUR OWNER’S
MANUAL PACKAGE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW CARE GUIDE MAY VOID VINYL
WARRANTY.
Upholstery Care
It is important to provide for the drying of all upholstery and
carpet after each use of the boat. Open all storage compart -
ments and slide all removable cushions out about an inch to
allow air to circulate behind.
Drying Upholstery
Tree sap, bird droppings, air borne chemicals, petroleum prod -
ucts and other foreign matter may damage the gelcoat surface
if not removed promptly (See Washing Instructions).
Boat Hull Protection
If your Supra is to remain in the water for an extended period,
the hull below the water line should be painted with a marine
bottom paint. Boats left in the water for extended periods
of time without bottom paint may experience blistering or
discolorization. This type of damage is not covered by your
boat’s warranty.
Teak Wood Care
If teak wood has been installed on your Supra, a small amount
of maintenance will be required to retain the natural beauty.
Teak wood should not be varnished. Instead, teak oil or mineral
oil should be applied. Oil should be applied 3 to 4 times per
year. If teak has been allowed to become gray and dry, sand
with fine grit paper and reapply teak oil.
Foreign Deposits
Damage caused by improper care, cleaning agents, con -
ditioner oils, waxes, gasoline, etc., IS NOT covered under
your boat’s warranty. Use only the recommended vinyl
cleaner as listed on the Vinyl Care Instruction Sheet.

more information regarding vinyl care.
Wet Slipping Boats
- In the event of large storms, boats in wet slips are
more likely to be damaged.
- If you do not use the boat often, the battery can go
dead from pumping out water.
- The boat may develop organic growth which can
greatly reduce performance, attack and discolor the
gelcoat.*
- The boat may develop osmotic blisters.*
- The boat may get a stain line which cannot be
removed.*
* Painting the area below the waterline of the boat with Interlux
products will reduce the likelihood of these last three.
