6.7 Plexiglas
The Plexiglas windshield can be cleaned with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
Never use acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride,
lacquer thinner, or similar type solvents to clean
the windshield. They penetrate the Plexiglas
surfaces and cause hazing that will obstruct
visibility.
6.8 Scuppers
All Cape Fisherman models have self-bailing cockpits, meaning that water on the cockpit
floor drains overboard through drains rather than into the bilge. The stern drains (scuppers)
have an external flap assembly which prevents water from back-flowing into the boat.
Inspect the flaps periodically to make sure that they are free of debris.
6.9 Caulking
Deck fittings, bow rails, window, hatches, etc., have all been caulked with the highest quality
material to ensure a waterproof joint with the boat. However, the working action of normal
use will tend to flex the joint and eventually break down the seal between them. Periodically
inspect the caulking for leaks. Repair the caulking when necessary or have your dealer do
the repair.
6.10 Hardware Mounting
When drilling mounting holes in boat surfaces, make sure each hole is sealed properly.
Sealing will prevent water leakage.
6.11 Hardware/Stainless Steel Rails Maintenance
Your hardware is made of laboratory grade 316 stainless steel, and needs regular cleaning
to maintain its chrome-like finish. The key to maintaining your stainless steel is to keep it
clean. Use a mild solution of soap and fresh water. If acid rain is a problem, you should
rinse your boat with fresh water after each rainfall. Also, don't forget to rinse the hinges on
baitwells and fishboxes. The hinges may need a small amount of silicone lubricant to avoid
sticking.
MAINTENANCE
· Wash with hot water and soap or a mild detergent or other commercially available
stainless steel cleaner.
· After cleaning, rinse with fresh water. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth to avoid water
marks.
· If discoloration or deposits persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or
stainless steel polish with a little water and a soft cloth.
· For stubborn deposits, use a plastic scouring pad or a soft bristle brush with cleaner
and water. Rub lightly in the direction of the polishing lines of the finish. Do not use too
much pressure, it may mar the surface. CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaning
products, pads, steel wool or steel brushes. These will damage the finish.
·
Do not allow deposits to remain on the finish for long periods.
