NOTICE
Do not use detergents, bleach or solvents to
clean your canvas.
Instrumentation
When gauges are exposed to a saltwater environment,
salt crystals may form on the bezel and plastic covers.
Remove salt crystals with a soft damp cloth. Clean
with a mild household detergent or plastic cleaner.
Never use abrasive solvents or dirty rags to clean
plastic parts. A mild household detergent or plastic
cleaner should be used. Wipe clean with a damp
chamois. For more information, contact Mercury
customer service at 920-929-5040.
Canvas
To keep canvas in good condition it should be
cleaned regularly before dirt, pollen, etc. are
allowed to accumulate on and become embedded
in the fabric. Canvas can be cleaned without being
removal. Chafing, fiber wear from dirt and grit and
deterioration from ultraviolet light can cause your
canvas to degrade over time.
Maintaining Appearance
After each use, especially if used in salt water areas,
rinse the canvas completely with fresh cold water.
To maintain canvas:
• Brush off any loose dirt, pollen, etc.
• Hose down with fresh cold water and clean with
a mild solution of a natural soap in lukewarm
water (maximum 100°F / 38°C).
• Allow canvas to soak. Do not allow soap to dry.
• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
• Let canvas dry completely. Do not store canvas
while wet.
The effects of ultraviolet light can sometimes be
reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
Consult a Boston Whaler dealer or check the
canvas manufacturer’s instructions before using any
chemical treatment on canvas.
NOTICE
Do not use petroleum based products, such as
petroleum jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
Stubborn Canvas Stains
Soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes
in a mild solution consisting of no more than
1/2 cup of bleach and 1/4 cup of natural soap
per gallon of lukewarm water (not to exceed
100° F / 38° C). Rinse thoroughly in cold water
several times. Allow the fabric to air dry completely.
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.
Canvas Zippers
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a
clear silicone spray. A wax candle can also be used
to lubricate the zipper track. Replace any missing or
corroded fasteners.
Vinyl Windows
The canvas on this vessel may incorporate Eisenglass
or Makrolon
®
polycarbonate windows. Regular
cleaning, utilizing compatible cleaners, coupled with
proper maintenance improves the vinyl’s service life.
NOTICE
• Never use window cleaners, detergents,
abrasives, petroleum-based products, or
alcohol to clean vinyl windows.
• Do not handle vinyl windows with sunscreen
on your hands. Sunscreen permanently
clouds vinyl where handled.
• Do not fold vinyl. Store flat or rolled with
smooth paper or soft cloth (like a bed sheet)
between layers when dry.
REFER TO THE OWNER’S PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
NOTICE
Failure to remove all of the soap solution can
cause deterioration of seams and prevent fabric
from proper retreating.
