spots and pollution, use a good quality “fiberglass
and non-skid deck” wax every two to three months.
When applied to your deck and non-skid areas, as
recommended by the manufacturer, the wax forms a
protective non-slick surface which will keep debris
from sticking. Dirt, soot, bird droppings, and even
fish blood will rinse right off.
Stainless Steel Care
NOTICE
NEVER use abrasive cleaners, detergents or soft
scrub type cleaners to wash your boats surfaces.
NEVER use abrasive pads, brushes or sponges
to attempt to remove stubborn stains.
NEVER use strong solvents or detergents which
contain chlorine.
NEVER use silver cleaners.
The cleaner your stainless trim and fittings can be
kept, the greater the assurance of optimum corrosion
resistance. Without proper care even the best stainless
steel will corrode.
Stainless steel is strong and corrosion resistant, but
still requires maintenance to keep its appearance.
Frequent routine cleaning of your stainless steel
with a mild soap and water solution and coating with
a good grade cleaning wax will help maintain the
finish.
• Wash with mild soap and cold or lukewarm
water.
• Dry THOROUGHLY.
• Apply cleaning wax with a soft, dry cloth.
•
Allow wax to dry, then polish and buff.
Even the finest cleaning powders can scratch or
burnish a mill-rolled surface. On polished finishes,
rubbing or wiping should be done in the direction of
the polish lines, NOT across them.
Crevice corrosion, a brownish coloring which occurs
where two pieces of stainless hardware meet is
caused by impurities in water and air. It can be easily
cleaned with a good grade marine polish using a
sponge, cloth or small bristled brush (for nooks and
crannies).
Aluminum Care
Preventative maintenance is essential to life of the
metals on your boat. The presence of salt particles
and moisture is the major cause of white spots, pitting
and corrosion.
The use of harsh chemicals can also cause deterioration.
Manufacturers and applicators of protective coatings
will not warrant protective coatings on metals in the
marine environment. Proper owner maintenance is
required to reduce deterioration which will result in
most cases by failure to wash down and wipe dry
after each use and/or the use of abrasive, acidic or
other improper cleaners.
Wash completely using a soft cloth and mild detergent
to remove salt particles. Hosing alone will not dislodge
all particles. DO NOT allow soap to dry as it may
cause stains on coated surfaces. Make sure to wash
and dry the full circumference of aluminum parts.
Apply an aluminum protectorate at least twice each
year, more frequently as conditions warrant. Neglect
will cause pitting of the surface which cannot be
reversed.
Inspect and repair or replace all damaged nylon
bushings, washers or other hardware designed to
prevent contact with dissimilar metals.
Whenever electrical or electronic changes are made
to the boat, a qualified marine technician should
check aluminum parts for stray currents. Make sure
all electronic equipment is properly grounded with
adequate sized wire.
Standard Vinyl Cushions
Wear rubber gloves when using any solvents.
Use caution when cleaning around buttons,
stitching, and wooden or decorative trim as
solvents could seriously damage such areas.

CAUTION
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt and ultra-violet rays will
take their toll on vinyl products causing them to lose
