7.4 Upholstery
Basic Stains - Clean with a mild detergent and a soft to medium brush, or an all-purpose cleaner and rinse
well with fresh water after cleaning.
Mildew - Use a 4 to 1 mixture of water and ammonia, brushing the stain vigorously to remove the bacteria
responsible for the mildew. If the stain remains, briefly apply bleach to the area and rinse with fresh water.
Tough Stains or Mildew - Use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of ammonia, 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide, and 3/4
cup distilled water. Briefly, apply to the surface, allowing the peroxide to bubble. Rinse with fresh water.
!!! WARNING
Do not mix ammonia and household bleach. Doing so will result in the formation of deadly chlorine
gas. If it is necessary to use bleach, clean up any traces of ammonia and ventilate the work space for
a minimum of 15 minutes prior to applying bleach.
7.5 Trim / Plexiglass / Polyethylene
World Cat uses vinyl, plexiglass, and polyethylene material (Starboard™) throughout the interior of our
catamarans.
Use the following instructions to care for these items:
• Use mild detergents to clean vinyl trim commonly used in cabins and helm. Routinely use a
commercially available surface protector to seal the vinyl.
• Surface or glass cleaners can be used to clean plexiglass. It is commonly used for radio
boxes and as a protective material for instrument panels.
• Starboard™ can be cleaned using surface cleaners such as 409™.
7.6 Stainless Steel / Aluminum
Stainless steel and aluminum are used throughout your vessel. World Cat uses only 316 marine grade
stainless hardware and anodized aluminum to provide you with years of service; however, these metals
can deteriorate and fail if improperly cared for. Upon returning, clean all hardware using a mild detergent
and rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chlorine based products, as they
will remove the metal’s protective coating and lead to pitting or rust. Throughout the year, coat the metal
using a non-abrasive metal protector to help displace moisture, remove contaminates, and shield the metal.
World Cat recommends high quality sealants such as Boeshield T-9™ developed by Boeing™ Aviation. If you
cannot find it locally call PMS Products Inc. at 800-962-1732.
7.7 Bilge Compartments
Routinely check the condition of the bilge compartments in your boat. This will help identify potential
problems and eliminate odors associated with stagnant water and the buildup of residue. Clean the
compartments using a freshwater rinse. This will also enable you to check the function of your drain system
and the operation of the bilge pumps.
7.8 Cockpit Drains
All World Cats have four drains located in the cockpit, two on both the starboard and port sides. These
drains are designed to quickly evacuate the cockpit should the boat become swamped. Flushing these
drains routinely will ensure the safety of your crew and vessel, as well as eliminate the potential for odors
associated with fish residue. These drains are evacuated through the scuppers located on the hull side. Each
scupper has a rubber flap to prevent water from entering the boat. Check this material occasionally to keep
the scuppers free of debris and in good working condition.
