NOTICE
Failure to remove all of the soap solution can
cause deterioration of seams and prevent fabric
from proper retreating.
Retreat the fabric using an air curing product such
as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard to ensure water and
stain repellency.
All canvas should be stored flat or rolled in a clean,
dry space.
Maintaining Zippers and Hardware
NOTICE
DO NOT use petroleum based products, such
as petroleum jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a
clear silicone spray. In the absence of silicone spray, a
wax candle can be used to lubricate the zipper track.
Replace any missing fasteners or any fasteners
showing signs of corrosion.
Cleaning Acrylic Windscreen
NOTICE
Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaning
solutions on acrylic.
Do not use solvents such as acetone, silicone
spray, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, fire
extinguisher fluid, dry cleaning fluid, lacquer
thinner, glass cleaning solution or harsh
detergents on acrylic.
Do not use detergents.
The above substances will attack the surface
of the acrylic.
• Rinse windscreen thoroughly with clear water
to remove any dust, dirt particles, salt water
or environmental agents before applying
cleaning products.
• Use your bare hand, with plenty of water, to
feel and dislodge any stuck-on dirt or foreign
particles .
• This should be done frequently to avoid build
up of salt water, dirt and other environmental
contaminants.
• Using a soft non-abrasive cloth, wash windows
inside and out with a mild soap (Woolite, Joy,
Palmolive, etc.) and water solution. Rinse
completely with cool water.
• Blot dry with a soft cloth or chamois to prevent
water spots.
The use of a polycarbonate protective cleaner/restorer
is recommended to keep your acrylic scratch resistant,
clean and minimize the deteriorating effects of sunlight.
Maintaining Your Teak
The teak accents (boarding steps and swim platform)
on your boat are constructed with natural teak which
requires virtually no maintenance beyond a frequent
wash down with saltwater and occasional oil rubbing.
Teak expands when wet and shrinks when dry. If
allowed to dry completely, the mating surfaces
between the planks will be put under stress.
A salt water wash down is best because as it dries it
leaves a fine salt deposit which will absorb moisture
out of the air and help keep the wood from drying
out. It also reduces mildew and algae growth. If salt
water is not readily available, fresh water is better
than none.
Teak is naturally greyish in tone but can be finished
to a beautiful honey color. To maintain the honey
colored look, apply a small amount of oil to bring
out the color. DO NOT SAND! Teak which has
been exposed to the sunlight for 10 years without
any maintenance has beautiful oily wood 1/100th of
an inch below the surface. A small amount of oil to
bring it out will do no harm. Do not allow the oil to
pool as it will attract dirt which can get ground into
the finish.
• NEVER sand teak surfaces. Sanding will ruin
the natural non-slip quality and require future
re-sanding as the soft surfaces of the wood
wear out more quickly.
• NEVER varnish teak surfaces. The varnish
will not stick because of the natural oils in
