Maintaining a good appearance
• After each use, especially if used in salt
water areas, rinse the canvas completely
with fresh cold water. On a regular basis:
• 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 the canvas to soak. Do not allow
the soap to dry.
• Rinse thoroughly with freshwater.
• Let the canvas dry completely. Do not
store any of the canvas pieces while wet.
The effects of ultraviolet light can sometimes be
reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
Consult your Boston Whaler dealer or check your
canvas manufacturer’s manual before using any
chemical treatments on your canvas.
Cleaning Stubborn Stains
Soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes in
a mild solution consisting of no more than 1/2
cup (4 oz.) of bleach and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) 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.
Maintaining Zippers and Hardware
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a
NOTICE
Failure to remove all of the soap solution can
cause deterioration of seams and prevent fabric
from proper retreating.
NOTICE
Do not use petroleum based products, such as
petroleum jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
Clear Vinyl (Acrylic)
To clean acrylic, first flood it with water to wash off
as much dirt as possible. Next, use your bare hand
with plenty of water, to feel and dislodge any caked
dirt or mud. A soft grit-free cloth may then be used
with a nonabrasive soap or detergent. A soft sponge,
kept clean for this purpose, is excellent. Blot dry with
a clean damp chamois.
The use of a vinyl protective cleaner/restorer is
recommended to keep your acrylic scratch resistant,
clean and minimize the deteriorating effects of
sunlight.
NOTICE
Never use a dry cloth or duster or glass cleaning
solutions on acrylic.
NOTICE
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.
The above substances will attack the surface
of the vinyl.
Storing Clear Vinyl
The clear vinyl should never be folded or creased
as cracking will result. The recommended method
of storage is to roll or lay the panels down flat. To
protect the clear vinyl from rubbing against itself
while rolled or stored flat, place a piece of very soft,
nonabrasive cloth between the pieces.
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.
