Tackle Box
Clean the tackle box trays and storage area using a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent.
Windows
The frames of the cabin hatches are made of cast or extruded aluminum. The lenses/windows of all 3
styles of windows (cabin hatches, cabin portholes and mid berth cabin window) are made of Lexan or tough
acrylic. Clean the frames and windows with a mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Make sure that
there is no cross contamination on the cloth. Polish with a mild automobile polish.
Minor scratches on the lens/window can be removed or minimized by using a mild automobile polish such
as Johnson’s Paste Wax or Mirro Glaze Plastic Polish. Use silicone spray on any moving parts to keep the
parts free of salt build up.
Note: Do not clean Lexan or acrylic windows with any window cleaner designed specifically
for glass windows or any cleaner containing harsh chemicals such as ammonia or alcohol
as this will damage the lens/window.
If needed, replacement parts for the 3 window styles (cabin hatches, cabin portholes and the mid berth
cabin window) can be obtained from the vendor:

Windshield
Care Instructions - Regular cleaning with fresh water and a soft cloth will keep and protect your windshield,
window or hatch for years.
Glass - Use commercially available glass cleaners or a mixture of fresh water and vinegar.
Do not use abrasives, harsh chemicals or metal scrapers. Regular cleaning will help
assure clarity of the glass for safe boating.
Window Channels - Clean window channels with mild detergent only. Channels can be
sprayed with silicon aerosol while sliding the glass back and forth.
Metal - Polish with commercially available metal polishes. A boat or car wax applied
periodically will offer extra protection against the elements.
Painted Surfaces - Clean with fresh water periodically. Touch up scratches and areas
where paint has chipped off with touch-up spray paint. Touch-up kits are available from
the windshield manufacturer.
Boat Top Clips – Never slide boat top clips along windshield framework. To change a clip
location, snap on and off the aluminum top track.
Windshield Vents - Use care when opening and closing vent. Do not force.
Grounding - Never ground windshield with any electrical devices or appliances.
Attaching Any Type of Metal Component to the Frame - Whenever attaching
any
metal
component to the windshield frame, the windshield manufacturer recommends bedding all
metal fasteners in contact with the aluminum frame with Tef-Gel to prevent the possibility
of rust, galvanic corrosion, seizing of moving parts, blistering of painted surfaces, etc.
between these two dissimilar metals. See the Tef-Gel website
