Routine Maintenance
Cleaner be done. Treat this like a polish, as op-
posed to a cleaner - wash and dry curtains first,
then apply Aquatech Strataglass Cleaner, actually
buffing the surface to a beautiful sheen. This is
not just a wipe on/ wipe off product…it needs to
be buffed to perform.
Remember, the coating on strataglass is scratch
resistant and not scratch proof. Always handle the
curtains with care and never roll up curtains that
are salty or dirty. If you have any questions about
the clear curtains used on your boat, please con-
tact your dealer or Everglades Customer Service.
Notice:
Hardtop enclosures must be removed when
trailering. Canvas enclosures are not de-
signed to withstand the extreme wind pres -
sure encountered while trailering and will be
damaged. Always remove and properly store
the enclosure before trailering your boat.
13.3 Interior
The cabin or head interior can be cleaned just
like you would clean a home interior. To preserve
woodwork, use teak oil. To maintain carpeting,
use a vacuum cleaner. Because air and sunlight
are very good cleansers, periodically put cushions,
sleeping bags, etc. on deck, in the sun and fresh
air, to dry and air out. If cushions or equipment
get wet with saltwater, remove and use clean,
fresh water to rinse off the salt crystals. Salt
retains moisture and will cause damage. Dry
thoroughly and reinstall.
Vinyl headliner material should be cleaned pe-
riodically as explained in the previous section.
Avoid using products containing ammonia, bleach
or harsh chemicals as they can shorten the life
of vinyl. Fiberglass headliners should be wiped
down with a damp towel as necessary to remove
dust and dirt.
If you leave the boat for a long period of time,
put all cushions on their sides, open all interior
cabin and locker doors and hang a commercially
available mildew protector in the cabin.
Notice:
Always read the label carefully on mildew
protectors. Remove the protector and allow
the cabin to ventilate completely before us-
ing the cabin.
Counter Tops - Faux Granite
A mild liquid detergent and water or disinfectant
cleaners will remove most dirt and stains from
Faux Granite. Rinse with a clean cloth moistened
with fresh water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Never use granite cleaners, bleaches, ammonia,
household cleaners, polishes or scouring pads.
Harsh cleaners and scouring pads will damage the
polymer surface of Faux Granite.
In most cases, Faux Granite can be repaired if
accidentally damaged. Small scratches that do
not penetrate the coating can be repaired using
an automotive buffing compound. Deep scratches
and heavy damage require a professional repair.
Contact your dealer or a counter top repair profes-
sional for assistance in repairing deep scratches
or other damage on your counter tops.
Interior Woodwork
Oiled and varnished woodwork or laminated,
simulated wood can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
For heavy duty cleaning, use a mixture of water
and Murphy’s Oil Soap or a solution of 10% white
vinegar and water to clean the wood and wipe it
dry with a clean towel. Apply a furniture polish to
add luster and help to preserve the finish.
13.4 Bilge, Pumps and Components
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, it is recom-
mended that you use a commercial bilge cleaner
on a regular basis. Follow the directions carefully.
All exposed pumps and metal components in the
bilge should be sprayed periodically with a pro-
tector to reduce the corrosive effects of the high
humidity always present in these areas.
Periodically check the bilge pumps and alarms for
proper operation and clean debris from the strain-
ers and automatic switches. Inspect all hoses,
clamps and thru-hulls for leaks and tightness on a
regular basis. Operate all thru-hull valves at least
once a month to keep them operating properly.
Frequently test the automatic switches for the
bilge pumps and alarms for proper operation. This
is accomplished by simultaneously holding your
fingers on the two recessed discs on the side of
the switch until the pump is activated. You can
also use a garden hose to flood the bilge until the
water level is high enough to activate the pump.
