(7) Spray the exterior of the engines with
Yamalube Silicone Protectant & Lubri-
cant, or an equivalent. For areas requir-
ing heavy protection, use Yamashield™.

Wax
®
or other non-abrasive wax de-
signed for marine gelcoat.
WARNING!
Slippery surfaces can cause falls and
injury. Be careful not to apply too
much wax on deck and gunwale step-
ping surfaces. This will make them
slippery.

such as the seats and engine compart-
ment seals, with Yamaclean Vinyl Dress-
ing™ or other quality vinyl protectant.
NOTICE:
Some well-known “protec-
tant” products on the market can ac-
tually damage vinyl over time. Consult
a Yamaha Boat Dealer if you want to
use a product other than Yamaclean
Vinyl Protectant.
(10) Vacuum and hose-off the carpeting as
necessary. If needed, use Yamaclean
Carpet Cleaner

name carpet cleaner product to clean
soiled areas.
NOTICE:
Always dry the
carpet face up. Never roll up the car-
pet. Never fold the carpet.

mild natural soap in lukewarm water,
then rinse. Do not use detergents. Allow
to air dry thoroughly before storage.
