HULL BOTTOM MAINTENANCE
If your boat will be in water continuously for the majority of the boat-
ing season, Chaparral recommends sealing the hull bottom with a
high quality barrier coating. Repairing water blister damage is not
covered under the Chaparral Boat Warranty. Your Chaparral dealer
can recommend the best barrier coating product for your boat.
Never use wire brushes, scouring pads, or other abrasive materials
or solutions on the bottom surface of your boat. They cause small
scratch marks that will collect dirt, silt, sand, marine growth and
other foreign materials.
Keep the hull bottom of your boat clean. Checking it regularly for
any signs of excessive wear or damage. Make needed repairs to
the hull bottom as soon as possible. Accumulation of natural coat-
ings from water and marine growth can create drag and limit the
efficiency of your boat.
HARDWARE AND FITTINGS
Note: Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
found in your owner’s packet for cleaning and maintaining
deck hardware and fittings. These recommendations include
the proper cleaning methods and cleaning agents.
Inspection
Inspect hardware and fittings to make sure they are tight. All
screws, bolts, clamps, cleats, etc., should be secure.
Cleaning and Care
• Always clean stainless steel frequently with soap and water. Any
cleaner safe for glass is usually safe for stainless steel.
• Always remove rust spots as soon as possible with a brass, sil-
ver, or chrome cleaner. Irreversible pitting will develop under
rust that remains on stainless steel for any period of time.
• Always use a cleaner, like a good car wax, for added beauty and
protection.
• Never use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool on
stainless steel. These may actually cause rusting.
• Never clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
• Never leave stainless steel in contact with iron, steel, or other
metals which cause contamination leading to rust or corrosion.
WINDSHIELD
Clean windshield safety glass with a glass cleaner or ammonia
water; then rinse with plenty of clear water.
Important: Solvents can penetrate the windshield glass sur-
faces and cause hazing. Hazing obstructs visibility. Never use
acetone, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, lacquer thinner, or simi-
lar solvents to clean glass or portholes.
The canvas or weather covering windows are made of a synthetic
material. Wash any synthetic materials with a mild detergent or
dishwashing liquid and water solution, then rinse with plenty of clear
water.
CARPET
After a boating excursion, allow carpet to dry completely in the sun
to prevent mildew.
Vacuum carpeting frequently. Clean up spills as quickly as possible.
Remove spots before they dry. Clean indoor/outdoor carpet with a
mild detergent or dishwashing liquid and warm water solution and a
scrub brush. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse carpet with clear water.
Your owner’s packet has more detailed information provided by the
manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
cleaning and stain removal.
