CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE-2
Corian
The galley and head counter tops and head sinks
are manufactured of Corian, which is a superior
quality, tough, scratch-resistant material. The Corian
surfaces in your yacht are a Matte/Satin
fi nish and
are easily cleaned and maintained in the following
manner:
Cleaning: Dirt and stains are removed by using
a soap and warm water solution. Tough stains may
be removed by using an ammonia-based cleaning
agent. Watermarks may be removed simply by wip-
ing the surface with a clean, damp cloth and drying
with a towel.
Disinfecting: Occasionally wipe the surfaces with
a 50/50 water and bleach solution. Rinse with warm
water and dry with a towel.
Sink Cleaning and Disinfecting: General clean-
ing of the Corian sinks is the same procedure as
described above. For a more thorough cleaning,
occasionally
fi ll the sink with a 50/50 water and bleach
solution and let soak for fi fteen (15) minutes. As the
solution drains, wash the bottom and sides, rinse with
warm water and dry with a towel.
Cuts and Scratches: Cuts and scratches may
be removed from your Corian surfaces. Refer to the
manufacturer’s pamphlet included with your Owner’s
Packet for the proper procedure.
Exterior Cleaning / Maintenance
The exterior surfaces of your yacht consist primarily
of
fi berglass, stainless steel, aluminum, safety glass,
acrylic plastic and anti-fouling bottom paint. As with
the interior surfaces, the exterior surfaces demand
frequent cleaning and maintenance. The respective
procedures are as follows:
Fiberglass
Wash with a mild soap and water solution, particu-
larly if your yacht is used in salt or brackish water.
Always thoroughly wash your yacht after each use
in addition to a regular, periodic washing schedule.
A more frequent washing schedule may be required,
depending on the environment where your yacht is
normally docked/moored. A soft scrub brush may
be used on the non-skid surface areas. Thoroughly
dry with a soft cloth and apply a coat of good qual-
ity wax designed for marine use, such as carnauba
paste wax.
DO NOT apply wax to the non-skid sur-
face areas, as it will render them ineffective. If your
boating season is year around, it is recommended a
coat of wax be applied every three (3) months. If your
boating season is restricted to the summer months,
it is recommended a coat of wax be applied prior to
spring launch and again at the end of the season
prior to winter storage.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents on fi ber-
glass surfaces, as they will scratch and dull the
fi nish.
Stainless Steel
The bow rail, aft deck rail, mooring cleats and other
hardware on your yacht are manufactured of quality
316L grade stainless steel. Stainless steel will not
rust under normal conditions, but it must be properly
maintained on a regular basis. Thoroughly wash the
hardware with a soap and warm water solution and
rinse with fresh water. Dry with a soft cloth to remove
any water stains. If discoloration or salt deposits are
not removed with normal washing, a non-abrasive
household cleaner or stainless steel polishing powder
may be used with a soft bristle brush. Always scrub
in the direction of the polishing lines imbedded in the
stainless steel to avoid scratching the surface. For
a superior shine, wipe the stainless steel with a light
coat of kerosene, followed by a light coat of lemon
oil. The kerosene enhances the lustre and protects
the stainless steel and the lemon oil removes the
unpleasant kerosene odor. Be careful not to spill or
wipe kerosene on the
fi berglass surfaces, as it will
remove the coat of wax.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool
pads, or brushes as these products may scratch
and damage the stainless steel
fi nish.
