NOTICE
Never use abrasive cleaners, detergents or
soft-scrub type cleaners to wash boat surfaces.
Never use abrasive pads, brushes or sponges
to remove stubborn stains.
Never use strong solvents or detergents which
contain chlorine.
Never use silver cleaners.
Seats (Mechanical Parts)
Always wash metallic parts with soap and water, and
rinse thoroughly with clean water. Once dry, apply
a light coating of lubricant to protect moving parts.
Check for loose or damaged hardware and tighten or
replace as necessary.
Aluminum
Preventative maintenance is essential to the life of the
metals on this vessel. 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 warranty protective
coatings on metals in the marine environment.
Proper owner maintenance is required to reduce
deterioration which results 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 protectant at least twice each
year - more frequently as conditions warrant. Neglect
causes surface pitting 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
adequately-sized wire.
Standard Vinyl Cushions
Saltwater, salt residue, dirt and ultra-violet rays will
take their toll on vinyl products causing them to lose
their luster and texture. To clean standard cushions:
• Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild
soap and water solution. Dry with a soft, lint-
free cloth or towel.
• More difficult stains can be cleaned using
rubbing alcohol. Rinse cleaned area with fresh
water and dry with a clean, soft, cloth or towel.
• Seemingly permanent stains like ballpoint ink
can be cleaned with active solvents such as nail
polish remover when applied with a soft cloth
or damp sponge and rubbed. Rinse cleaned area
with fresh water and dry with a clean, soft, cloth
or towel.

Water Exposure
Boat cushions are not waterproof and will absorb and
hold water. Do not leave the cushions in standing
water or exposed to heavy, prolonged rain. If cushions
become waterlogged, remove the foam from the
cushion, press out as much water as possible from the
foam and allow to air dry. To prevent mildew, keep
the vinyl dry and make sure that moisture does not
accumulate between the 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.
