UPHOLSTERY
Your boat’s seats and vin yl upholster y should be
kept as clean as the exterior finish to prolong
life and beauty.
SEAT COVERINGS & VINYL
The seat co verings and vin yl trim are made of
temperature resistant vin yl.
1. Always clean up spills quickly to pre vent
staining , especially soft drinks.
2. Clean dirt and smudges with mild soap and
warm water. If necessar y, scrub with a soft
bristle brush to remo ve dirt from textured
vinyl. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or tow el.
3. Periodically, clean seat co verings with a
product designed to clean and protect vin yl
surfaces.
Cer tain household cleaner s, powdered abra-
sives, steel wool and industrial cleaner s can
cause damage and discoloration and are not
recommended. Petroleum-based cleaning prod-
ucts such as dr y cleaning fluids and lacquer
solvents should not be used, as the y will
remove the printed patter n and gloss. W axes
should be used with caution. Man y contain dyes
or solvents that can per manently damage the
protective coating .
4. Suntan oil will damage vin yl upholster y. Use
suntan lotion instead of suntan oil.
5. Removable outside seat cushions should be
placed inside when not in use.
Exposure to the sun is the enem y of all uphol-
ster y materials. F or maximum life, w e
recommend keeping them co vered with a cock-
pit or full length co ver when you are not using
your boat.
INTERIOR FABRICS
Treat the fabric upholster y the same as home
fabric upholster y. Vacuum and shampoo to
maintain upholster y and to k eep it clean and
odor free. Spra y with L ysol™ or other disinfec-
tant to pre vent the build up of milde w.
WINDSHIELDS AND WINDOWS
Safety glass windows and windshields ma y be
cleaned just like those in a car . Plastic and Plex-
iglass surfaces require special attention. Flood
acrylic windshields and por t windows with plenty
of clean w arm water. Use a soft clean cloth.
Rinse with clear w ater.
Vibration may loosen windshield fastener s and
braces during nor mal use. These should be
checked periodically for tightness.
CARPETING
EXTERIOR
Scrub indoor/outdoor car peting with a br ush
using mild detergent and w arm water, then thor-
oughly rinse with clear w ater. Allow car pet to dr y
completely before use. Apply a light coating of
Scotch Guard
®
to protect against accidental
spills.
INTERIOR
Vacuuming and occasional car pet shampoo are
recommended for extended life and appear-
ance. Apply a light coating of Scotch Guard
®
to
protect against accidental spills.
CANVAS
Canvas or “bimini tops” are designed to protect
the helm seating areas from the sun. Although
these tops are intended to pro vide ample
weather protection for the helm, the y are not
completely weather tight lik e a winter storage
cover.
To keep exterior seat cushion foam from getting
wet, we recommend that the cushions be
removed and proper ly stored when not in use
unless the boat is fitted with a full length co ver.
9-5
Do not use window cleaning sprays,
scouring compounds or solvents to
clean plastic windows. Scouring com-
pounds will scratch the windows.
Sprays and solvents penetrate the sur-
faces and cause hazing which will
obstruct visibility.
