110V sockets and plugs should always be clean and free of moisture. A smear of light grease on the
threads of the sealing caps will assist in making a good seal.
The batteries should be periodically checked with a hydrometer. After this test add distilled water as
needed. The level should be approximately 3/8 inch above the plates. Keep the vent-plug holes
unobstructed and ensure the terminal posts and clamps are kept clean and
tight. Frequent cleaning washes away sea water, acid and dirt that has accumulated and set up
tiny circuits that drain off amperage
Before cleaning a battery, take it to an area that will not be damaged by acid washed off the battery.
Tighten vent caps and scrub terminals including the top of the battery with a brush dipped in a solution
of diluted ammonia or a couple of ounces of baking soda dissolved in a quart of water. Scrub until all
bubbling stops. Flush battery with clean water, dry and replace into the boat.
REMEMBER: Clean, dry and tight are the three most important factor. in battery and electrical
connection maintenance.

Upholstery
The upholstery from the standard CS Yachts selection is material of synthetic fibers, either
100% nylon or a combination of nylon and rayon. These materials -have been chosen because synthetic
fiber is not as subject to mold or mildew caused by a marine environment. Dyes used in the material
have been selected so as to be as colorfast and sun resistant as possible, but extreme exposure to direct
sunlight or water may cause discoloration.
The upholstered cushions and seat backs are fitted over foam with zippers on the back face to simplify
removal for cleaning.
The upholstery must not be machine washed but should be dry cleaned. Check with your dry cleaner
when you take the covers in, so that the proper cleaning process is used.
If the yacht is to be left for some time unused, it is advisable to stand the cushions on end so that air can
circulate around them. Also clean out lockers of any damp clothing and leave locker doors open.
