ANTI-FOULING BOTTOM PAINT
Before selecting a bottom paint, talk with
other boaters and your dealer to determine
which product works best in your area. Many
variables affect the bottom paint such as
water temperature, pollution, salinity, cur-
rents, suspended dirt and organic matter,
and sunlight.
Fiberglass hulls should never be sanded,
cleaned, painted and launched in the same
day. Moisture in the old paint must be
allowed to escape completely to get good
adhesion between the new and old paint.
Also, allow sufficient drying time before
launching your boat; follow paint manufac-
turer’s suggestions.
General Care and Cleaning
DECK FITTINGS AND HARDWARE
Stainless steel has been used wherever
possible on your boat. It is not totally resis-
tant to corrosion. Regular cleaning and pol-
ishing with a chrome or stainless steel polish
will maintain and extend its life. A daily rins-
ing with clear water to remove any salt
residue is suggested. A light wipe-down with
WD-40 or LPS sprayed on a soft rag after
each washdown will enhance its appear-
ance.
Inspect all screws, clamps and fittings.
Tighten any loose hardware when neces-
sary.
EXTERIOR AND SEAT VINYL
Regular washing with mild soap and warm
water or vinyl upholstery cleaner is sufficient
to keep the cushions and vinyl coverings in
good condition. Keep the cushions from
becoming water soaked to prevent any
mildew accumulation. Wipe the cushions dry
and lightly spray them with Lysol to help pre-
vent mildew.

INTERIOR WALL COVERINGS AND
OVERHEAD
Vinyl interior wall coverings may be sponge-
cleaned with quality vinyl cleaners or with a
50/50 solution of mild detergent and water.
Blot dry with a clean cloth after cleaning.
The interior overhead may be cleaned with
upholstery cleaner.
WINDOWS
●
Plexiglass and Vinyl Windows.
First, flush the plexiglass and vinyl with
clean water. Use your bare hand with
plenty of water to loosen any dirt. A clean
soft rag may then be used with a mild
non-abrasive soap or detergent. Dry care-
fully with a soft damp cloth or chamois.
● Sliding Windows.
Avoid cleaners containing sodium or cal-
cium hypochlorite or cleaners that give off
a chlorine odor. These types of cleaners
can damage the nylon pile window chan-
nel runners.
