Another alternative is to fit a plastic gallon jug on the end of the ice
box hose. Periodically dump the melted ice out into the
sink.
Food items should not be left for long periods of time in a closed ice
box without ice. Spoilage, odors, mold and mildew will result. Plan to
clean out your ice box (both ice and food items) at the end of each sail
or cruise when you are leaving the boat for an extended period of time.
Remove the ice box cover to permit thorough drying. Clean up any
spillage of food in the ice box, etc. to prevent blocking of the
scuppers and drainage of this material into the bilge.
Clean the fiberglass interior surfaces of your ice box periodically with
a sponge dampened with a water and bleach solution (this will help
prevent mildew and odors in the ice box).
Cleaning your ice box with baking soda as well as leaving a box
open inside during the season will cut down on any odor buildup.
PORTS AND HATCHES
The Spartan ports fitted on your yacht are made of bronze, tempered
glass and stainless steel. A neoprene gasket bedded in a contact
adhesive is used to seal the port.
The hinge pins and port knobs should receive a light periodic oiling to
combat any build-up of salt spray that may accumulate. The glass may be
cleaned with any non-abrasive household glass cleaner.
Optional port screens are available which snap into place on the outside
of the port. Do not use strong solvents on the plastic portions of the
screen.
Hatches made of Lexan material should not be cleaned with any solvent or
abrasive cleaner. They should be rinsed with warm water only and
cleaned with an acrylic cleaner. Other soaps and detergents will cause
the lexan to film over losing some of its clear qualities.
SINKS
Stainless steel sinks may be cleaned with any stainless steel cleaner
according to the manufacturer's instructions or with a non-abrasive
cleaner and soft cloth or sponge.
HEAD
The plastic seat and vitreous china bowl of your head should be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleanser and sponge or soft cloth.
