To Clean Your Cushions
• Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild
soap and water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-
free cloth or towel.
• More diffi cult stains can be cleaned using
rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol).
Rinse cleaned area with fresh water and
dry with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or
towel.
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.
Aluminum Care
Apply an aluminum protectorant 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 qualifi ed marine technician should
check aluminum parts for stray currents. Make sure
all electronic equipment is properly grounded with
adequate sized wire.
Even the fi nest cleaning powders can scratch or
burnish a mill-rolled surface. On polished fi nishes,
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).
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.
Cushions
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt, ultra-violet rays etc. will
take their toll on vinyl products causing them to lose
their luster and texture.
The cushions on your boat are made of a durable
vinyl material called OMNOVA which is protected
by a fi nish called PreFixx
®
. PreFixx
®
will keep your
cushions looking new far longer than most other
vinyl upholstery.
Solvents are flammable. Exercise proper
care. Wear rubber gloves during all cleaning
activity.
Use caution when cleaning around buttons,
stitching and wooden or decorative trim as
these solvents could seriously damage such
areas.
