CARE / MAINTENANCE

Upholstery

Skeeter takes pride in manufacturing our own custom interiors. The vinyl fabric in your Skeeter

interior was specially selected to take the tough punishment of the elements and hard usage of an

active boater.

For General Care

• Do not use the seat straps as a handle when carrying seats.

• An authorized Skeeter Dealer should install seats.

• Use quality upholstery cleaner to clean the vinyl upholstery.

• Protect the seats from the weather and ultraviolet sunrays. Use a high-quality vinyl conditioner

containing UV inhibitors.

• Check the seat fasteners. Only Skeeter-approved seats and associated hardware should be

used in your boat. These seats and hardware should be periodically inspected for wear, tear, and/

or fatigue. If you notice these types of signs, please contact your Skeeter Dealer and have them

replaced via the Skeeter Customer Service for a nominal fee.

Paints

If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem, the use of antifouling paint may reduce

the growth rate. Be aware of environmental regulations that may govern your paint choice. Contact

your local boating authorities for information.

Cleaning Agents

Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not discharged into waterways. DO NOT mix

cleaners and be sure to use plenty of ventilation in enclosed areas. DO NOT use products which

contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents, or nonbiodegradable or petroleumbased products. Citrus-

based cleaners are excellent for marine cleaning purposes and are safe for you and the environment.

FUEL SYSTEM

If you find a leak, have your Skeeter Dealer repair the leak before your next boat outing.

Only USCG-approved fuel hoses must be used on the fuel system.

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak-free fuel system is a must for

safe boat use. Check your boat for fuel leaks and fumes before, during, and after each use.
