CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE-1
A periodic cleaning and maintenance schedule of
the interior and exterior surface for your yacht is
recommended. Not only will it maintain your yacht
in pristine condition, but it will also result in a higher
resale or trade-in value when you decide to purchase
another Silverton yacht. A clean yacht is both pleas-
ing to the eye and a source of pride in ownership.
Cleaning and maintenance of your yacht is described
in the following categories:
Interior Cleaning/Maintenance
Exterior Cleaning/Maintenance
Canvas Enclosure Cleaning & Maintenance
Interior Cleaning / Maintenance
There are several different types of surfaces in the in-
terior of your yacht and all require a different method
of cleaning. The surfaces and their respective clean-
ing and maintenance procedures are as follows:
Fiberglass
Wash with a mild soap and water solution. Thor-
oughly dry with a soft cloth and apply a coat of good
quality wax designed for marine use.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents on fi ber-
glass surfaces, as they will scratch and dull the
fi nish.
Wood
There are many wood surfaces in your yacht, such
as galley cabinets, entertainment cabinets and trim.
Care and cleaning of the wood surfaces is identical
to the maintenance of the wood surfaces in your
home. Frequently remove dust from the wood with a
feather duster or similar cleaning tool. Apply a good
quality furniture polish, such as
Liquid Gold , to all
wood surfaces on a regular basis to maintain their
beauty and lustre.
Nautolex (Vinyl)
Gently wash with a mild soap and water solution
and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth on a regular basis.
DO NOT wait for the vinyl surface to appear soiled
before you clean it, as stains and ground-in surface
dirt may be dif
fi cult to remove.
DO NOT use cleaning agents containing bleach,
as they will remove the color tint from the vinyl
surface, causing a blotching appearance and will
dry the material, resulting in surface cracks.
Upholstery
The upholstery in your yacht is high quality and stain
resistant. Frequently vacuum the upholstery to re-
move any dirt before it accumulates and becomes
imbedded. Stains may be removed by using a quality
household stain remover. Be certain to follow the
manufacturer’s directions concerning its use.
Carpeting
The carpet in your yacht is a high quality nylon pile.
Normal cleaning and maintenance is accomplished
by vacuuming on a frequent and regular basis (Refer
to the carpet manufacturer’s pamphlet included with
your Owner’s Packet for additional cleaning proce-
dures, such as stain removal).
You may have chosen as an option at the time of
purchase of your yacht, a “Central Vac” vacuum
cleaning system. Similar to the system in your
home, only a removable vacuum hose with cleaning
attachments is necessary to vacuum any portion of
the interior of your yacht. The “Central Vac” system
in your yacht is operated on the AC electrical sys-
tem with a “Ground Fault Interrupter” circuit for your
protection. The vacuum motor and canister (stores
the vacuumed soil) are self-contained in one unit
and located in the lower portion of the dinette seat.
Access to the canister is gained through a panel lo-
cated on the inboard face of the dinette seat. There
is one (1) vacuum hose outlet, which is located on
the face of the canister access panel (Refer to the
manufacturer’s pamphlet included with your Owner’s
Packet for speci
fi c directions concerning operation
of the system).
