CANVAS

Boat canvas is subject to severe punishment. Moisture can cause can-
vas to shrink and can promote the formation of mildew, especially if
the canvas is dirty. Temperature changes and exposure to sunlight can
cause plastics to stiffen and crack. Exposure to chemicals in the air can,
over time, cause plastics and fabrics to decay. Salt water can corrode
metal fittings. 

Canvas is water repellent; it is not waterproof. When it is raining, some
leakage may occur. Keep objects from touching a canvas interior. It
may begin leaking at the point of contact. If canvas begins leaking at a
seam, apply a seam sealer compound or rub a stick of paraffin along
the affected area.

When installing canvas, be sure to adjust it properly. Your dealer can
show you how to do this. Water pockets may form in the roof of loose
canvas. The added weight of this water adds to the load on the frame
supports and can cause a broken frame.
