Use a good metal polish and protect with wax. This should be done every couple of months or as
soon as you notice any finish deterioration.
Plexiglas
Do not use products with ammonia on your Plexiglas windscreen. It can mar the surface and
reduce its transparency. A mild soap and water or non-ammonia cleaner will work well. In
addition to ammonia, cleaners should not be used which contain solvents, acetone, or alcohol.
Upholstery
Soap and water should be periodically used to clean the vinyl. Vinyl protector products can make
the seats slippery, which may not be desirable. When cleaning the vinyl, be gentle. Do not use
cleaners that contain ammonia, acetone, strong solvents, or powdered abrasive cleaners. They
can damage and shorten the vinyl’s life.
Sump Area
Your EdgeWater has a bilge area in the after part of the boat. This can be maintained well by
periodically using a boat bilge cleaner. Follow the directions carefully.
10.2 Engine
If you have a new engine with a built-in flushing device, the engine may be flushed without
cranking. If the engine does not have a built-in flush device, one may be purchased to fit.
To flush the engine, after connecting a water hose to the proper connection, turn on the water.
Put the engine control in the idle position and crank the engine. Only let it run a couple of
minutes. The gear case is water-cooled and is not designed to run out of the water for extended
periods.
Do not crank the engine without water running. Water acts as a coolant and also a
lubricant for the water pump.
Do not rev the engine when flushing; idle speed is sufficient!
The exterior of the engine will respond well to a good quality wax. This should be re-applied every
several months as the marine environment is a very harsh one and the constant sun exposure will
deteriorate your motor’s finish. Consult the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for specific
instructions. In areas where there is a conflict between this manual and the engine
manufacturer’s manual, the engine owner’s manual will take precedence.
